Claims
- 1. An optical connector plug comprising:
- an optical fiber cord having a secondary coated optical fiber and a tension-resistant jacket covering the secondary coated optical fiber;
- a ferrule fixed to an end of said optical fiber cord, the tension-resistant jacket of said optical fiber cord being secured to said ferrule; and
- a housing accommodating the ferrule, in such a manner that said ferrule is axially immovable but radially movable.
- 2. An optical connector plug according to claim 1, wherein said housing comprises a plug frame, a stop sleeve and an elastic hood.
- 3. An optical connector plug according to claim 2, wherein said tension-resistant jacket of said optical fiber cord is bonded to a rear end portion of said elastic hood of said housing.
- 4. An optical connector plug according to claim 1, wherein said housing is integrally formed with an adapter to which a mating optical connector plug to be connected is inserted.
- 5. An optical connector comprising:
- an optical connector plug comprising:
- an optical fiber cord having a secondary coated optical fiber and a tension-resistant jacket covering the secondary coated optical fiber;
- a ferrule fixed to an end of said optical fiber cord, the tension-resistant jacket of said optical fiber cord being secured to said ferrule; and
- a housing accommodating the ferrule, in such a manner that said ferrule is axially immovable but radially movable; and
- a connecting adapter which mutually connects a pair of said optical connector plugs.
- 6. An optical connector according to claim 5, wherein said connecting adapter comprises means for axially biassing said pair of optical connector plugs so as to connect to each other.
- 7. An optical connector plug comprising:
- a first optical connector plug comprising:
- an optical fiber cord having a secondary coated optical fiber and a tension-resistant jacket covering the secondary coated optical fiber;
- a ferrule fixed to an end of said optical fiber cord, the tension-resistant jacket of said optical fiber cord being secured to said ferrule; and
- a housing accommodating the ferrule, in such a manner that said ferrule is axially immovable but radially movable;
- a second optical connector plug comprising:
- an optical fiber cord having a secondary coated optical fiber and a tension-resistant jacket covering the secondary coated optical fiber;
- a ferrule fixed to an end of said optical fiber, the tension-resistant jacket of said optical fiber cord being secured to said ferrule; and
- a housing accommodating the ferrule, in such a manner that said ferrule is axially movable; and
- a connecting adapter which mutually connects both said optical connector plugs.
- 8. An optical connector according to any one of claims 5, 6 or 7, wherein a refraction index matching agent is coated on a connecting surface of the optical connector plugs to be mutually connected.
