Abstract
An optical unit includes photoelectric conversion modules, a plurality of adapter support members whose upper parts are rotatably supported, and a plurality of optical connector adapters attached to lower ends of the adapter support members so as to be arranged next to each other, the optical connector adapters being contained in the optical unit. The adapter support members are rotated separately so that the optical connector adapters are extracted outside from the optical unit with a space formed between each adjacent two of said optical connector adapters. Each of the optical connector adapters has insertion holes to which optical connectors of optical fibers extending from the photoelectric conversion modules and optical connectors of external optical fibers are connected.
