ABSTRACT:
A resin sleeve is used as an optical connection sleeve1for optically connecting an optical fiber41with an optical component. A ferrule fixing surface21provided on an inner peripheral surface of a ferrule insertion portion2of the sleeve1is formed to have a multifaceted shape in which a cross section thereof on a plane vertical to an optical axis A thereof has a hexagonal shape. A ferrule40can be positioned and fixed accurately by a tight fit utilizing elastic deformation of resin. An outer peripheral surface of the ferrule40and the ferrule fixing surface21come into line contact with each other, and thus detachability of the ferrule40is enhanced. Therefore, an optical fiber ferrule can be held accurately, and the optical connection sleeve having a satisfactory detachability, an optical module using the same and an optical communication module are realized.
