Abstract

A field installable optical-fiber connector at least comprises an optical-fiber splice sleeve with a hole for optical-fiber ferrule and an optical-fiber splice member containing-chamber. A first half and a second half of the optical-fiber splice member are placed in the optical-fiber splice member containing-chamber. An optical-fiber ferrule pre-provided with the connecting optical-fiber is inserted in the hole for optical-fiber ferrule. The connecting optical-fiber is butt jointed with a field optical-fiber in an optical-fiber splice groove on the first half. The first half or the second half is provided with a rib which is matched with and protrudes from a locking slot of the optical-fiber splice sleeve. An optical-fiber splice member clamp, which covers the optical-fiber splice sleeve, is provided with a channel comprising an upper part and a lower part parallel with each other. The width of the lower part is larger than that of the upper part. When the optical-fiber splice sleeve is positioned in the upper part, the wall of the channel presses the rib, so that the connecting optical-fiber and the field optical-fiber are kept in the optical-fiber splice groove. The optical-fiber connector can perform a quick field installing and dismounting without external tools.
