ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an optical interconnection apparatus free from attaching, fixing or adhering when come into contact with each other or with another material, and easy to handle. The optical interconnection apparatus according to the invention comprises a substrate (1), a protective resin layer (2) composed of a silicone based rubber-like or gel-like material on one side or both sides of said substrate, and plural optical fibers (4) which are routed two-dimensionally routed on the substrate and provided at ends thereof with end portions (5) adapted to permit optical interconnections, and said optical fibers being held in place by said protective resin layer, wherein a non-tacky surface layer (8) is provided on the surface of said protective resin layer. The non-tacky surface layer is preferred to be composed of a silicone-based material and having a kinetic friction coefficient of 3.0 or less.
