Abstract
Disclosed is a gravity-adapted optical-fiber-connector comprising a gravity-adapted block and at least one gravity connector each including a fiber-stub; tail handle; rear seat being clamped and fixed by gravity-adapted block; elastic device being sleeved on a portion of excircle surface of tail handle and limited by an end face of rear seat and that of tail handle; outer sleeve and optical cable; gravity of gravity-adapted block is applied to elastic device through the end face of rear seat, after the elastic device is compressed, a spring having identical magnitude and direction with the gravity is generated and acted on the end face of tail handle, such that a physical butt-joint-surface of fiber-stub is always applied a preload about the gravity. The gravity-adapted optical-fiber-connector has stable optical-fiber coupling efficiency and coupling performance.
