Abstract
An optical connector ferrule A is mounted on the distal end of a fiber optic ribbon cable to form an optical connector Ca. A mating surface of the optical connector Ca opposes an optical connector Cb to be mated. Fiber accommodating holes are formed in the mating surface so as to accommodate optical fibers, and a pair of guide projections are formed on the mating surface so as to be positioned with the optical connector Cb. The ferrule A is integrally molded with a resin. This provides an optical connector ferrule allowing the easy manufacturing of an optical connector with good transmission performance.
