ABSTRACT:
An optical connector ferrule includes a ferrule body which is cylindrical and has a transition portion extending from a cylindrical body to a terminal end of the ferrule body. The terminal end is provided with an inclined convex end face defining a plane of inclination inclined relative to the bore axis. The transition portion has an outer surface shaped for the transition portion to have a circular cross section taken perpendicular to a center line extending orthogonal to the plane of inclination.
