Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An optical connector includes a ferrule connected to an optical fiber cable, a housing for containing the ferrule, a ferrule holding member attached in the housing, and a spring member that urges the ferrule toward the housing. The ferrule holding member includes a support portion which restricts movement of the ferrule toward the tip side of the housing, a fiber insertion groove formed on the ferrule holding member for containing the optical fiber, a crimped portion which is provided on a rear portion of the ferrule holding member. A crimping member is attached to the crimped portion for fixing at least one of a high-tensile-strength wire and an outer sheath of the optical fiber cable. The spring member is attached to the ferrule holding member.
