Abstract
To provide a fusion-spliced optical connector capable of easily performing a fusion-splicing operation at an actual site in a short time, without need to perform additional special operations. An optical connector component is configured to attach a short-length optical fiber to a ferrule including a capillary and a flange. The capillary comprises a minute through hole and a coated-portion storage hole formed in the capillary, the minute through hole to be stored therein the bare optical fiber portion of the short-length optical fiber and the coated-portion storage hole to be stored therein a part of a coated optical fiber portion of the short-length optical fiber continuous to the bare optical fiber portion. The flange includes a coated-portion penetrating hole formed in the flange to be penetrated therein a very short portion continuous to the part of the coated optical fiber portion stored in the coated-portion storage hole. The short-length optical fiber extends rearward from the coated-portion penetrating hole of the flange by a length of a required extra-length splice portion when the bare optical fiber portion is fixedly stored in the minute through hole of the capillary and the part of the coated optical fiber portion continuous to the bare optical fiber portion is fixedly stored in the coated-portion storage hole of the capillary.
