Abstract

A fiber optical connector includes a connector housing and an optical-fiber component. The connector housing includes a receiving space. One end of the connector housing forms a connector opening communicating with the receiving space. Two side walls of the connector housing include buckling portions adjacent to the connector opening. The optical-fiber component is positioned in the receiving space. The optical-fiber component includes a sleeve piece, and a length of the sleeve piece is in a range between 6.25 mm and 10.25 mm. The sleeve piece includes a block member assembled in the connector opening. A total length of the fiber optical connector is in a range between 30 mm and 35 mm. Two sides of the block member respectively form an engaging portion, and each of the engaging portions is engaged with the corresponding buckling portion.

Claims (15)
