A method of ferrules used in an optical connector for connection and short-circuit of making multichannel optical signals. Heretofore, many fiber receiving holes have been arranged along a line at regular intervals with tolerance amounting to less than 1 micron. 10 and connect two ferrules, a precisely processed cylindrical metal guide pin under 1 micron, precise pitches formed in ferrules and a metal pin guide hole are used, Consequently, it has been necessary to maintain a high degree of precision. The present invention maintains a high degree of precision by reverse direction connection dependent merely on a predetermined height a reference plane. The reference plane is formed by relatively easy plane processing as the method of maintaining precise height and directivity of flow is added to the inside of a mold.

A compound testing machine for testing mechanical properties used for an optical connector does not additionally have each testing machine for each of mechanical properties (such as a tensile force including both a straight pull and a side pull, a flex, a twist and an impact) in testing a mechanical property between optical connectors and other mechanical property between optical fibers of the optical connectors, and includes only one testing machine for simultaneously testing various mechanical properties in order to enhance a test machine's efficiency. The compound testing machine includes: a rotation part which includes a test specimen fixing portion for fixing a test specimen, a cable connected to the test specimen, and a load applying portion connected to the cable so as to provide a predetermined load to the test specimen, receives a driving force of an electric motor, and measures a tensile force and a flex; and an impact testing part which is mounted to one side of the rotation part, drops the test specimen while freely adjusting a height of the test specimen, and thus performs an impact test.

A rotation and alignment device for assembling of an optical fiber connector with a lower connection loss. This device image-processes the distribution of optical intensity of light emitted from an end surface of an optical fiber of a ferrule and derives an optical peak intensity point of the end surface of the optical fiber such that the point is placed in a predetermined region of a rectangular coordinate system. This device comprises a rotation and marking part for controlling a rotational position of a marker with respect to the ferrule and marking the optical peak intensity point on an outer surface of the ferrule. A ferrule fixture part is coupled to the rotation and marking part and fixes the ferrule such that the outer surface of the ferrule is marked with the optical peak intensity point by the marker. A vertical supporting part supports the rotation and marking part and the ferrule fixture pat. An optical system and fiber alignment part is mounted on the support rail part and magnifies and aligns the end surface of the optical fiber of the ferrule. The support rail part assures the rotation and marking part and the optical system and alignment part of a desired horizontal location.
