Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for setting up an optical fiber connector including the optical fiber connector and a barrel assembly arranged within a housing. SOLUTION: A barrel assembly 31 is formed of a deformable material and includes a barrel main body and a barrel having a barrel extending part 24 which extends from the end of the barrel main body. A ferrule in the internal part of which a preliminarily polished fiber stub is arranged is supported by the end of the opposite side of the barrel main body. An insert is arranged within the barrel, and the insert is deformable and it is arranged and constituted so as to receive at least one fiber. The cap 20 of the extending part meshes with one part of the housing, and the barrel assembly 31 is attached to the inside of the housing. The housing includes at least one opening 14 arranged in the side part in order to access the barrel assembly 31.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical fiber/connector having an auxiliary spring. SOLUTION: An optical fiber/connector/assembly has an inner room, which has a cable receiving tip part and a reinserting interface, and a connector 14 which forms a fiber/holder. A latch/arm has a latching means which engages with the shoulder of an adapter and cam/robes 26 on the latch/arm engage with the tilted surfaces of the adapter and provide the bias force to move the connector 14 to the tip part of the interface. A bias force reinforcing member is included to guarantee a reliable connection over a long period. The member is an elastic member having the elastic force to increase the bias force generated by the cam/robes 26.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical connector which is easily inserted to and removed from a relevant receptacle without requiring tools neither requiring a grasp of the opposite side, where connection parts are congested, to secure the positive optical contact to a terminal of a counter connector or device. SOLUTION: The main body of an optical connector 41 consists of a means which has an interface end part and a fiber entrance end and fixes a jacketed fiber to the main body, a latch arm 48 which has a near end attached to the main body and free far end, and at least one cam lobe 5 arrange on this arm 48, and an assembly consists of an adapter member 38 which receives the connector, and this member consists of a cavity 39 extended in the axial direction and the main body which has an interface end part and a connector reception end part, and a cam means is provided which is placed in an adapter and is adapted to press the cam lobe as to apply a forward bias force to the connector in the adapter, and a forming means is provided which forms a shoulder for latch connection of the latch arm.

Abstract: An optical fiber connector assembly has a connector having a bore having a cable receiving end and a reentrant interface end forming a fiber holder. Jacketed plastic optical fiber is affixed within the bore and unjacketed fiber is contained in the fiber holder. A latching arm has latch means for engaging a shoulder in an adapter, and camming lobes on the latching arm engage sloping ramps in the adapter to impart a bias force to move the connector toward the interface end.
