  • Fiber connection assembly
    Patent number: 10156690
    Abstract: A fiber connection assembly includes a first and a second coupling member. The first coupling member includes a first housing, a protrusion protruding from a first side of the first housing, and a first optical connector arranged in the protrusion. The second coupling member includes a second housing, a recess arranged at a first side of the second housing and a second optical connector arranged in the second housing in or next to the recess. The coupling members can be coupled by moving the first member relative to the second coupling member in a first direction towards and onto the second coupling member, thereby inserting the protrusion into the recess, and then by rotating the first coupling member relative to the second coupling member in a plane perpendicular to the first direction and around a rotation axis until the first optical connector is connected to the second optical connector.
