Abstract
An optical fiber connector includes a cartridge, a latch and a pair of elastic members. The cartridge has two opposite sidewalls and a wire terminal, and each sidewall has a runner and a containing slot disposed on a side of the wire terminal. The latch includes a pull handle, a sliding member having two opposite extending arms, and a stop portion disposed at each extending arm. The pull handle is capable of rotatably connecting the sliding member, and each extending arm is slidably combined with the cartridge through each runner. Each elastic member has an end abutting each containing slot and the other end abutting each stop portion. Therefore, the space of the cartridge is increased, and the total volume of the optical fiber connector is reduced.
