Abstract
An optical connector-equipped fiber connection structure according to an embodiment includes at least three groups including two or more optical fibers adjacent to each other. In the groups, two or more of the optical fibers extend from a first multi-core connector to a second multi-core connector without intersecting with each other. Optical fibers of two groups in the at least three groups intersect with each other in a midway point going from the first multi-core connector to the second multi-core connector. Optical fibers of groups other than the two groups extend from the first multi-core connector to the second multi-core connector without intersecting with the other optical fibers extending from the first multi-core connector.
