Abstract

This invention discloses a type of optical fiber connector, comprising: an adapter body with a first locking component; an extending raised edge which surrounds the said adapter body, that raised edge possessing a first connecting surface; and a locking ring, that locking ring being constructed such that it may be installed around the adapter body, said locking ring possessing a second connecting surface and a second locking component; said first locking component and said second locking component being such that they connect together when said locking ring is rotated by an angle of 90 degrees or less than 90 degrees relative to the adapter main body, thus allowing positioning of the first connecting surface at a pre-set distance from second connecting surface.
