Abstract
Provided is a connector that includes an optical component and a movable member. The optical component emits light. Light from the optical component is incident upon the movable member and the movable member is movable between a first state taken during non-fitting to a counterpart connector and a second state taken during fitting to the counterpart connector. Incident light incident upon the movable member from the optical component is, in the first state, attenuated and emitted to an outside such that power of the light is lower than power of the light when the movable member is held in the second state.
