Patent attributes
This invention reveals a type of optical fiber connector assembly, comprising of a shell, an optical fiber adapter, an optical fiber connector and optical cable. The optical cable is provided with an optical cable securing device, an optical cable strengthening component being secured to the optical cable securing device, and the optical fiber within the optical cable passes through the optical cable securing device. The optical fiber connector assembly also comprises a first port end cap; the optical cable securing device is separate from the optical fiber connector, and fits within the accommodating cavity therein; the outer end of the end cap possesses an arrestor wall, which prevents the optical cable securing device from being pulled out of the accommodating cavity within the end cap; additionally there is a compressed spring provided between the end cap and the optical fiber adapter, the compressed spring being squeezed between the end surface of the end cap and the end surface of the optical fiber adapter. In this invention, since there is only a compressed spring provided on one side of the optical fiber adapter, the compressed spring being squeezed between the end cap and the end surface of the optical fiber adapter, the overall axial and radial size of the optical fiber connector assembly is reduced.
