Abstract
A mono-block type optical fiber adapter includes an adapter body including a partition wall between each two opposing accommodation chambers and a tubular coupling portion extended from each partition wall toward the inside of one respective front-sided accommodation chamber, a ferrule mounted in each tubular coupling portion and partially suspending in the respective rear-sided accommodation chamber, and a ferrule holder respectively mounted in each rear-sided accommodation chamber and attached to the suspended rear end of the respective ferrule. The one piece design of the adapter body facilitates mass production and effectively eliminates the dimensional tolerance and clearance problems of conventional designs. Further, the matching design between the adapter body and the ferrule holders facilitates quick and accurate installation of the mono-block type optical fiber adapter, saving much installation time and labor and enhancing structural stability and reliability.
