Field: Optics (Instruments)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. An optical connector for coupling to an optical receptacle, comprising:
an outer housing;
a coupling module, slidably connected to the outer housing; and
a latch structure, rotatably connected to the coupling module, wherein a position of the latch structure is changed by a rotating movement to allow the optical connector to be locked in the optical receptacle, or allow the optical connector to be taken away under an external force,
wherein the coupling module comprises:
a terminal module, slidably connected to the outer housing, and configured for coupling to the optical receptacle;
a guiding structure, connected to the terminal module and having an extending shaft; and
a boot structure, rotatably connected to the extending shaft,

wherein when the latch structure is rotated to a first position by the rotating movement, the guiding structure and the outer housing are moved under the external force; when the latch structure is rotated to a second position by the rotating movement, the outer housing is moved relative to the terminal module under the external force.
