Abstract

We have developed new thin optical multi-fiber connector, which applies MT connector and is appropriated for high dense arrange. This thin-type connector consists of housing that have two latch claws for connecting to a thin-type receptacle and spring that applies pressing force to fiber endfaces. It is a feature that connection and disconnection are operated by hand. It is confirmed that the optical characteristics are favorable to be equivalent to standard MT connectors engaged by MT clip.
