Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An optical connector includes a ferrule, an optical waveguide attached to the ferrule, and a boot attached to the ferrule to protect the optical waveguide, wherein the boot includes a cover part that covers the ferrule.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . An optical connector, comprising: a ferrule; an optical waveguide attached to the ferrule; and a boot attached to the ferrule to protect the optical waveguide, wherein the boot includes a cover part that covers the ferrule. 2 . The optical connector as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a securing mechanism configured mechanically to secure the boot to the ferrule. 3 . The optical connector as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the securing mechanism includes: a click formed on one of the boot and the ferrule; and an engagement part formed on another one of the boot and the ferrule and configured to be engaged with the click. 4 . The optical connector as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a clip attached to the ferrule having an engagement part, wherein the boot has a hole or recesses configured to engage with the engagement part. 5 . An optical connector, comprising: a ferrule having a first end and a second end; an optical waveguide attached to the ferrule at the first end thereof; and a boot having a hole and attached to the ferrule at the first end thereof to surround the optical waveguide extending through the hole; wherein the boot includes a cover that caps the first end of the ferrule. 6 . The optical connector as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the boot includes a guide extending into an inside the ferrule, such that an outer face of the ferrule at the first end thereof are situated between the cover and the guide part.
