Abstract

A field-assembly optical connector includes an inner sleeve module, a connector frame housing the inner sleeve module, and a cable boot coupled to the inner sleeve module to protect a sheath of an optical fiber. The inner sleeve module includes a sleeve body having a sleeve, an intermediate connector fitted on the sleeve body and having protrusions, a spring fitted on a threaded portion of the sleeve body, a fixing ring screwed to the threaded portion of the sleeve body, and a ferrule stub inserted into the sleeve body through the fixing ring. A cable boot is fixed to the sleeve body and is coupled to the intermediate connector to be moveable within a predetermined range.
