Description
本発明は、多心光ファイバコネクタの分野に関し、より詳細には、ジェンダーニュートラル(neutral gender)なMT型フェルール及びアダプタ構成(design)に関する。
Claims (5)
- フェルール同士がアダプタによって突き合わされた状態に接合され、これらフェルールの間で光伝送が行われる光ファイバコネクタ−アダプタシステムであって、
前記フェルールは、少なくとも1本の光ファイバを受け入れる第1の面と、該少なくとも1本の光ファイバの端が露出する第2の付き合せ面と、実質的にジェンダーニュートラル(gender neutral)であるように前記付き合せ面に近接して動作可能に位置するとともに相手方のフェルールと付き合せ接続することが可能に固定取付けされる2つの位置合わせピンとを有するフェルール本体を備え、
前記アダプタは、前記位置合わせピンと係合するV溝を有し、前記位置合わせピンを前記V溝内に位置させて、これら位置合わせピンとV溝とが係合するように構成されており、
前記位置合わせピンは、該位置合わせピンに形成された段差を含む部分が前記フェルール本体にオーバーモールドされるように構成されていることを特徴とする光ファイバコネクタ−アダプタシステム。 - 前記フェルールは、前記位置合わせピンが前記突き合せ面を越えて突出しないように前記本体の凹状領域に位置することをさらに含む、請求項1に記載の光ファイバコネクタ−アダプタシステム。
- 前記フェルールは、前記光ファイバを前記フェルール内に配置するための硬質材料からなるインサートを有しており、
該インサートは、分割形成されるとともに、前記光ファイバを受け入れるためのV溝を少なくとも一つ有することを特徴とする請求項1又は2記載の光ファイバコネクターアダプタシステム。 - 前記アダプタは、前記位置合わせピンの少なくとも1つを付勢するととともに該アダプタ内に保持し、該アダプタに対する前記フェルールの特定の挿抜力を維持する、少なくとも1つの付勢部材をさらに有する、請求項1〜3のいずれかに記載の光ファイバコネクタ−アダプタシステム。
- 前記アダプタが2つに分割形成されている、請求項1〜4のいずれかに記載の光ファイバコネクタ−アダプタシステム。
