Abstract
An optical fiber connector includes a connecting unit, an adapter unit, and an attenuation unit. The adapter unit includes an insertion seat connected removably to a main housing of the connecting unit, and two guide frame bodies located respectively at two opposite sides of the insertion seat in a transverse direction. The insertion seat has two insertion holes spaced apart in the transverse direction and extending in a front-rear direction. Each guide frame body extends in the front-rear direction away from the connecting unit. The attenuation unit includes two attenuation components, two rear ferrules, and two front ferrules. The attenuation components are arranged in the transverse direction and disposed within the main housing. The rear ferrules respectively extend rearwardly from rear ends of the attenuation components into the insertion holes. The front ferrules respectively extend forwardly from front ends of the attenuation components through and outwardly of the main housing.
