Abstract
An optical transmission device according to the present disclosure includes: an optical connector connection unit to which a connector unit of an optical cable is attached; a light emitting end configured to emit light to transmit an optical signal via the optical cable, and configured to radiate light to a reflection surface of the connector; and a driving unit configured to drive the reflection surface to refract the light radiated to the reflection surface toward an optical transmission path of the optical cable through refraction on the reflection surface in the case where the connector unit is attached in first orientation, and configured to drive the reflection surface to refract the light radiated to the reflection surface toward the optical transmission path of the optical cable through refraction on the reflection surface in the case where the connector unit is connected in second orientation that is different from the first orientation.
