Abstract
An adapter for an optical connector comprises a pair of wall portions and on a mounting surface . The structure allows the adapter to accommodate an optical connector inserted from a direction vertical to the mounting surface , and allows the adapter to accommodate an optical connector inserted along a predetermined axis . On this account, it is possible to insert the connector along the predetermined axis to the housed optical connector . Since the optical connector is mated to and demated from the optical connector in this sort of adapters, force applied to an optical module is decreased in mating/demating the connector. An optical module product includes the optical module , a coated optical fiber , the optical connector , and the optical connector's adapter . An optical module mounting substrate product includes the optical module product and a substrate for mounting thereon the optical module and the adapter for optical connectors.
