Abstract
The present embodiment relates to an optical connector capable of reducing a pressing force applied to each of a plurality of optical fibers simultaneously held by a ferrule and effectively reducing fiber damage. The optical connector includes a ferrule including a plurality of through holes and a plurality of optical fibers held by the ferrule with end faces of the optical fibers protruding from the ferrule. The maximum curvature of the end face of each of the optical fibers and a variation amount of a protrusion amount of each of the optical fibers are adjusted to enable excellent many-to-many PC connection.
