ABSTRACT:
The objective is to offer a connector component for multi-core optical fiber, or an assembly of ferrules, having high precision ferrules in concentricity, circularity, axial linearity, and spacing distance, as well as to offer a method of manufacturing the same at a reduced cost. The connector (or ferrules) is featured by its manufacturing method including thermal-spraying or electroforming is applied, using a resin or a metal, to a plurality of cylinder-shaped ferrules, under the condition that projections which are positioned opposite each other of a positioning member are fitted and nipped to both ends of insertion holes of the cylinder-shaped ferrules so that each ferrule is properly positioned and the central axes are parallel to each other at specified positions so that the plurality of cylinder-shaped ferrules are coated.
