A ferrule fixing member includes a fixing member configured to fix a ferrule to hold an optical fiber to a retaining member including a retaining hole to insert the ferrule, a locked portion configured to be locked to a locking portion formed on the retaining member and to be restricted from moving, with respect to the retaining member, in an insertion direction of the ferrule and in a direction orthogonal to the insertion direction, and a main body configured to elastically press the ferrule toward the bottom of the retaining hole by elastic deformation thereof.

A connector supporting structure includes a substrate, a connector mounted on the substrate, and a casing covering at least a portion of the substrate and supporting the connector. The casing includes an opening to expose a part of the connector from an inside of the casing to an outside. Side surfaces of the connector are pressed by inner surfaces of the opening.
