Abstract
Disclosed are an optical fiber connector assembly, an optical fiber connector plug, and an adapter assembly, comprising an optical fiber connector plug, an optical fiber connector adapter, and an adapter base plate. A plug information storage chip and an indicator light-guiding pillar are arranged in parallel on a bottom side of the optical fiber connector plug. Each pin of the plug information storage chip is electrically connected to conductive slide-rails. Metal elastic pins and an indicator light accommodation portion are arranged in parallel on a bottom side of a plug opening of the optical fiber connector adapter. Pin contacts and an indicator light are arranged in parallel on the adapter base plate. When the adapter is mounted on the adapter base plate, the indicator light is accommodated in the indicator light accommodation portion and the metal elastic pins are electrically connected to the pin contacts. When the plug is inserted into the adapter mounted on the adapter base plate, the metal elastic pins are electrically connected to the conductive slide-rails, and the indicator light-guiding pillar is inserted into the indicator light accommodation portion and abuts agains…
