Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to a universal optical fiber connector including a hot-melt end connector assembly, a heat-shrinkable sleeve and a protective shell for the heat-shrinkable sleeve. The assembly further comprises the main body of the hot-melt end, and a ceramic ferrule, a wedge for the ceramic ferrule and a pre-embedded optical fiber passing through the main body. The tail end of the protective shell for the heat-shrinkable sleeve is connected with an optical fiber locking device for the locking of the optical fiber; the locking device and the protective shell for the heat-shrinkable sleeve are separately configured. The present invention is applicable to optical fibers of different sizes and can improve the tensile properties of the optical fiber connector, and the protective shell for the heat-shrinkable sleeve can be volume-produced with the same mould instead of being produced independently for each type, so as to improve the production efficiency.
