Description

Field-mountable optical connector {AN OPTICAL CONNECTOR FOR ASSEMBLING IN THE FIELD}

The present invention relates to a field assembly optical connector that allows the operator to easily connect the optical fiber in the field.

Recently, an FTTH (Fiber To The Home) system has been proposed that can provide various information including broadcasting and communication by connecting optical cables to general homes and is being applied to new apartments. In the FTTH system, an optical cable is connected to a wall in a home, for example, and an end thereof is finished in the form of a connector and installed on the wall. In this case, the FTTH worker sets the optical cable several meters longer than the actual length in consideration of the connection between the optical cables and introduces the optical cable into the home. In addition, the worker cuts the optical cable to the required length in the home construction site, assembles the optical connector at the end and connects it to the optical adapter and installs it on the wall inside the home.

On the other hand, a general optical fiber is composed of a core layer and a cladding layer, which is commonly referred to as a main line or a core line. The main line has a diameter of about 125 μm, and a coating layer is coated on the outside of the main line with a thickness of about 250 μm (hereinafter, referred to as a coating main line). An outer shell having a thickness of approximately 900 μm is coated on the outside of the coating layer (hereinafter, referred to as an element wire).

A jacket made of, for example, PVC is coated on the outer side of the element wire through a buffer material such as kevlar (aramid yarn) for strengthening tensile strength.

The optical fiber is to be able to transmit and receive the desired signal through the light transmitted through the core layer. Therefore, in the construction of the optical cable, it is necessary to accurately align the main line of the optical cable in order to minimize the transmission loss of the light.

The fixing member is composed of the upper fixing portion and the lower fixing portion to which the optical fiber main line is inserted and fixed, wherein the fixing member has a gap formed in one of the upper fixing portion or the lower fixing portion, and the fixing member is formed. The fixing cap through-hole is formed to be inserted, the fixing cap formed with a fixing cap wedge hole formed in the orthogonal direction in the fixing cap through hole, and inserted into the fixing cap wedge hole to push the lower surface of the lower fixing portion upward The fixing wedge is made up, but the fixing wedge is configured to bend the middle part of the lower fixing part by pushing the middle part of the lower fixing part upward.

In the fixing member formed of the upper fixing portion and the lower fixing portion, the lower fixing portion is formed to be thinner than the upper fixing portion. This is for the lower fixing portion to bend easily by the fixing wedge.

The fixing wedge installed on the fixing cap and pushing up the lower fixing part upwardly has a stepped portion orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the progression to form a lower surface and an upper surface, and have a predetermined width. The width of the fixing wedge is usually made of 3 ~ 10mm. Thus, the fixing wedge formed in a predetermined width increases the force acting on the lower fixing portion by pushing the lower fixing portion to a wide width.

Is formed so that the fixing wedge is inserted from the outside of the plug, the plug wedge hole and the fixing cap wedge hole is formed to pass through in a row.

In the field assembly type optical connector of the present invention made as described above, in order to connect the ferrule main line and the optical fiber main line, the optical fiber main line is inserted into a fixing member having a gap, and a fixing wedge is inserted outside the plug to insert an intermediate portion of the lower fixing part. It is characterized by the strong fixation of the optical fiber main line by making it bend like a bow.

That is, as the middle portion of the lower process member is bent like a bow, the length of the fixing member fixing the optical fiber becomes longer, thereby increasing the fixing force.

As described above, the fixing wedge is inserted from the outside of the plug to reduce the gap of the fixing member so that the optical fiber can be connected more easily.

In addition, there is an effect that can prevent the breakage of the main line caused by the biasing holding force by acting to the fixing force to the long length of the optical fiber main line.

In addition, there is a feature that does not require a separate tool by pushing the fixing wedge by hand to fix the optical fiber (main line) with the fixing member.
