Abstract
In an optical connector, a ferrule accommodated in a ferrule chamber of a housing is urged by a spring so that the optical connector is coupled with a complementary connector. The housing is provided with a means for stopping the retracting of the ferrule when the ferrule retracts by a certain length. In this configuration, a break in communication occurs even when force is applied to an optical fiber cable.
