Patent ID: 8606059

Claim:
An optical fiber connector comprising: a first transmission member comprising a first body, a first lens, and a second lens, the first body comprising a front surface, an upper surface, and a lower surface parallel to the upper surface, the front surface perpendicularly connecting the upper surface to the lower surface, a recess defined in the upper surface and being exposed at the front surface, the first body comprising a first light coupling surface and a sealing surface in the recess, the first light coupling surface being parallel to the front surface, the first lens and the second lens formed on the first light coupling surface, the sealing surface perpendicularly extending from the first light coupling surface; a second transmission member mechanically engaged with the first transmission member, the second transmission member comprising a second body, the second body comprising a second light coupling surface facing the first light coupling surface; and an elongated shielding member fixed on the upper surface above the recess, the shielding member cooperating with the first light coupling surface, the second light coupling surface, and the sealing surface to form a sealed room receiving the first lens and the second lens.
