Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
There is provided an optical connector configured to receive a plurality of MT ferrules attached to terminal ends of multi-fiber cables. The optical connector includes a housing through which multiple receiving holes receiving the MT ferrules are bored. The receiving holes are arranged in the direction of the long side of front end faces of the MT ferrules. A pair of holding elements is provided in each of the receiving holes. The pair of holding elements is positioned at both ends in the direction in which the receiving holes are arranged and protrude to a side at which the MT ferrules are inserted. Both ends of a rear end flange of each of the MT ferrules placed in the receiving holes are held by the pair of holding elements. The optical connector enables easy setting-in of MT ferrules and reduction in size of optical connectors can be achieved.
