ABSTRACT:
A cable side connector for connecting an optical fiber cable, which is partially usable as of both full lock type and friction type and does not cause a variation in optical coupling in either case, includes a housing 10 and a fixing member 20 which is securely accommodated in the housing 10. The fixing member 20 is formed with locking arms 25 which engage engaging projections of a module side connector when the cable side connector is coupled with the module side connector or the housing is formed with a friction lock projection. This connector can be used as of full lock type and of friction type only by replacing the fixing member. Further, since the housing 10 is used commonly for the both types, displacement of the ferrule which is required to have accuracy can be prevented.
