OPTICL CONNECTOR FOR TERMINATING OPTICAL FIBRE, DISTRIBUTION POINT HAVING SAID CONNECTOR, DEVICE FOR TERMINATING OPTICAL FIBRE AND METHOD TO THIS END Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC G02B6/36 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: optical connector for terminating optical fibre has a housing with a socket inside. The socket has an optical fibre termination section on its right side. The optical fibre termination section includes a first optical fibre having a first end and a second end. The socket also has in its second part a mechanical splice made with possibility of splicing the second end of the optical fibre termination section with a second optical fibre. The socket has a buffer clamp made in its third part with possibility of pressing at least the buffer cladding section of the second fibre when the clamp is actuated. The optical fibre distribution point has a tray made with possibility of detachable connection to the optical fibre distribution socket. The tray has a front surface made with possibility of accommodating several connectors. Each connector is made with possibility of fitting an optical socket in it, which forms the end termination of the optical fibre from the distribution line. The device for terminating the optical fibre has a base made with possibility of holding the optical socket, a first actuating mechanism mounted on the base for actuating the splice of the optical socket and a second actuating mechanism for actuating buffer clamp of the optical socket, as well as an optical fibre holder. The method of terminating optical fibre into an optical socket involves processing the end of the optical fibre, putting the processed end of the optical fibre into a pre-assembled optical socket, actuation of the splice, splicing the processed end of the optical fibre with a second end of the termination section of the optical fibre, pressing the buffer section of the optical fibre in the optical socket and freeing the optical fibre.

EFFECT: design of an optical fibre connector which enables fast connection and joining several pairs of optical fibres and is simple and cheap to assemble and use.
