Abstract
A method of collectively connecting multiple optical connectors each having an altered-shape portion which is at least one of a recessed shape or a projecting shape on an outer surface, and an aligning and positioning jig used in this method. After multiple optical connectors are aligned and positioned by using an aligning and positioning jig for engaging the altered-shape portions of the multiple optical connectors to one another to position the multiple optical connectors, multiple optical connectors aligned and positioned on one side are collectively connected to multiple optical connectors aligned and positioned on the other side. Then the aligning and positioning jig is removed from multiple pairs of connected optical connectors.
