In a fixing apparatus for fixing an optical connector to an optical cable having an optical fiber and wire members arranged around the optical fiber, the fixing apparatus includes first, second, and third holding members. The first holding member is adapted to be inserted between the wire member and the optical fiber. The second holding member is adapted to be disposed outside the wire members, the second holding member cooperating with the first holding member to tightly hold the wire members therebetween. The third holding member surrounding the second holding member and having an axial end portion adapted to be engaged with the second holding member in a rotation direction with respect to the optical cable. In addition, the third holding member has another axial end portion adapted to be connected to the optical connector.

Apparatus for tightly fixing an optical connector to an optical cable

In a receptacle-type optical connector to be connected to a plug-type optical connector connected to an optical fiber terminated by the use of a ferrule, use is made of a base shell, a front shell, and an intermediate shell which is interposed between the base shell and the front shell. The base shell has a core coupling portion for coupling a core of the optical fiber. The front shell has an opening which is shaped in conformity with a plug shape of the plug-type optical connector. The intermediate shell is partly fitted to the base shell. The intermediate shell has a cylindrical protrusion which is shaped in conformity with the ferrule and which is inserted into the opening.
