Patent ID: 10107968

Abstract:
A fiber optic connector assembly comprising: a fiber optic connector (110) and a fiber optic adapter (120). The fiber optic connector comprises a ferrule assembly (110) and is simplified to not comprise a case and/or an insertion body of a standard fiber optic connector disposed outside the ferrule assembly. The fiber optic adapter comprises a simplified port (121) adapted to receive the ferrule assembly (110) therein and an elastic piece (130) for holding the ferrule assembly (110) in the simplified port. The elastic piece is disposed in a peripheral wall of the simplified port and clamped on the ferrule assembly to exert an axial elastic force on the ferrule assembly. The fiber optic connector and the fiber optic adapter of the present invention both can be shortened in length, and the fiber optic connector assembly has a simpler structure than that of a standard fiber optic connector assembly.
