Abstract
A fiber optic connector having a radio frequency identification tag for optically coupling with a mated fiber optic connector, comprising: a housing; a fiber ferrule extending from a first end of the housing; a spring member provided within the housing; a tail sleeve connected at a second end of the housing opposite to the first end to fix an end of an optical cable; and a tag receiving portion formed in a sidewall of the housing, wherein the radio frequency identification tag is received in the tag receiving portion, and wherein the tag receiving portion is separated from the spring member and the tail sleeve in a longitudinal direction of the housing. The RFID tag overlaps with only the non-metal housing and the non-metal protection sleeve in the lateral direction. As a result, it can eliminate the effect of metal materials in the fiber optic connector on the reading performance of the radio frequency identification tag.
