Detailed Description

The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, an embodiment of the present invention is suitable for an optical fiber connector 9, the optical fiber connector includes a body unit 1, a dustproof unit 2 connected to the body unit 1, and a jacket unit 3 located outside the body unit 1. In this embodiment, the case of adapting a connector of MPO specification to an optical fiber cable will be described.

The body unit 1 includes a flange ring 11, a connector end piece 12 axially extending integrally from the flange ring 11 and adapted to be plugged with the optical fiber connector 9, and a plug end piece 13 integrally extending from the flange ring 11 in a direction opposite to the connector end piece 12. Wherein the connector end piece 12 is adapted to the specification of the optical fiber connector 9 and has an outer surface 121 formed with an external thread; the plug end piece 13 mainly matches the specification of cable plugging and defines an inner space 130 with an opening 139, the plug end piece 13 has an outer side 131 formed with a groove 138, an inner side 132 opposite to the outer side 131, a plurality of accommodating grooves 133 penetrating through the outer side 131 and the inner side 132, a plurality of balls 134 respectively accommodated in the accommodating grooves 133, and a collar 135 sleeved in the groove 138 and having a plurality of penetrating hole portions 136 respectively for the balls 134 to penetrate through.
