Abstract
An optical beam expanding module that has a housing, a ferrule mounted in the housing, a cable extending into the housing, an optical fiber of the cable being received in an inner bore of the ferrule; and an optical lens mounted in the housing at a front end surface of the ferrule for expanding the diameter of a light beam output from the optical fiber. The optical beam expanding module is adapted to be assembled as a single component in any one of assembly channels in mounting bodies of different connectors. There is provided a standardized optical beam expanding module being adapted to be applied to different beam expanding connectors.
