Abstract: An optical connector is disclosed. The optical connector includes a rear housing, an inner housing, an arm and an outer housing. The inner housing includes at least one retaining hole to house a ferrule. The rear housing moves linearly and rotates with respect to the inner housing. The arm moves linearly together with the rear housing with respect to the inner housing. The outer housing disposed on an outer periphery of the inner housing covers a front portion of the inner housing. The outer housing rotates with respect to the inner housing by a rotation guiding mechanism cooperating with the arm. The outer housing includes a forward wall covering the distal end of the inner housing. An opening area of the forward wall can be aligned with the retaining hole of the ferrule when the outer housing is rotated from an initial position to a connected position.

Abstract: An optical connector is disclosed. The optical connector includes a rear housing, an inner housing, and an outer housing. The inner housing includes a retaining hole to accommodate a ferrule. The outer housing is disposed on an outer periphery of the inner housing to cover a front portion of the inner housing. The outer housing rotates about the central axis with respect to the inner housing by a rotation guiding mechanism cooperating with an adapter for connecting the optical connector to another optical connector. The outer housing includes a front wall covering the distal end of the inner housing. The front wall includes at least one opening region. The opening region corresponds to a fiber exposed surface of the ferrule when the outer housing is rotated with respect to the inner housing from an initial position to a connected position by the rotation guiding mechanism.

Abstract: A method of providing fiber optic connectivity including gripping a rotatable coupler of a fiber optic connector at a grip portion thereof, inserting the rotatable coupler into a bulkhead adapter in a straight direction, turning the rotatable coupler in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction to increase a tension of the spring while pushing the rotatable coupler forward, and releasing the rotatable coupler such that the rotatable coupler rotates in a counter clockwise direction and locks the fiber optic connector into the bulkhead adapter.
