Abstract
An optical connector attached to a plurality of buffered optical fibers each including: a bare optical fiber; and a tube in which the bare optical fiber is inserted in. A multi-fiber optical connector is connected to first ends of the buffered optical fibers, and a plurality of single-fiber optical connectors are respectively connected to second ends of the buffered optical fibers. The multi-fiber optical connector includes: a ferrule fixed to ends of the bare optical fibers; a connector housing that houses the ferrule therein; and a tube fixing portion that fixes the tubes to the connector housing. The buffered optical fiber has a bare fiber fixing portion in which the bare optical fiber and the tube are fixed at a location closer to the ferrule than the tube fixing portion within the multi-fiber optical connector.
