Abstract
A low-loss small-sized underwater optical connector with six optical contacts is presented. An oil-filled optical fibre cord is adopted to simplify the structure. The body of the adaptor is made of synthetic resin which is practically free from erosion. The distribution of stress is calculated by using the finite-element method to evaluate the mechanical strength of the adaptor.
