Abstract
The present disclosure provides a stackable optical fiber adapter including shell members, a base with mating parts formed at front and rear sides thereof, and an accommodating cavity being transversely formed therein and communicated with the two opposite mating parts. One positioning part and wedged-jointing part are at two adjacent bases, and one clasping block and position-limiting groove are on the positioning part and the wedged-jointing part. By such a way, each two adjacent bases can be stacked, arranged or formed by a modularized manner, so that more shell members can be installed on a panel. The adapter can be easy to design the corresponding mold, the mating parts of each shell member is constant, and necessary to develop different molds, so the manufacturing process and the mold can be simplified, and the optical fiber adapter of the present disclosure can have stable structure and low cost, and further facilitate mass production.
