OPTICAL CONNECTOR FOR CABLES WITH OUTER SHEATH Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC G02B6/36 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: declared optical connector, intended for terminating the fiber-optic cable sheath, comprises a body configured so as to be compatible with the receiving part. The optical connector also includes a sleeve disposed in the body, wherein a ferrule is fixed at the first end of the muff member. The muff member includes a gripping mechanism located in the second part of the muff member. The muff member further includes a retainer for the protective layer formed in the third part of the muff member, wherein the retainer for the protective layer is formed so that after activation it clamps, at least, a part of the optical fiber buffer coating. The optical connector also includes a carrier member for holding the muff member within the body. The carrier member includes a mounting structure, surrounding a central hole, at one end of the carrier member, wherein the mounting structure has, at least, one recess area intended to place a part of the outer cable sheath cut in bands. Also an assembly fixture is proposed for terminating the fiber-optical connector, which comprises a base having a connector holder for placing the optical connector, a device for installing the length of the protruding fiber part, having a device for setting the length of the protruding fiber part, and a node of the optical fiber holder. Herewith the base further includes a pivotally attached actuating arm. The node of the optical fiber holder comprises a clamp for the optical fiber intended to fasten the fiber-optic cable with an outer sheath in the node of the optical fiber holder, and the first and the second covers pivotably attached. Herewith the first and the second covers are configured to prevent twisting of the optical fiber while terminating.

EFFECT: increasing the fastening reliability.
