Abstract

See full text

A shutter member of the optical communication adapter includes a base plate, both side plates, a connecting plate, and an elastically deformable shutter plate having a predetermined curvature radius. In the adapter, the base plate of the shutter member is fitted into a bottom recess formed on an external surface of a bottom wall and the both side plates of the shutter member are fitted into both side recesses formed on the external surface of both sidewalls. The shutter plate of the shutter member is positioned at both open ends of an insertion hole to shield the insertion hole while being curved to form a convex shape toward a center portion of the insertion hole and, when a connector is inserted into the insertion hole, falls toward the center portion of the insertion hole by being pressed by the connector.
