ABSTRACT:
In an embodiment of the invention, an optical connector for optically coupling respective end faces of two optical fiber cables including an optical fiber composed of a core and a cladding includes a beat shrinkable tube, a cable insertion tube disposed in the heat shrinkable tube for inserting thereinto and butting the respective end faces of the two optical fiber cables, an uncured refractive index matching resin disposed between the beat shrinkable tube and the cable insertion tube, and a resin supply hole formed in the cable insertion tube for supplying the uncured refractive index matching resin to an inside of the cable insertion tube. In an alternative embodiment, an optical connector includes a protection sleeve, a cable insertion tube disposed in the protection sleeve for inserting thereinto and butting the respective end faces of the two optical fiber cables, an optical instantaneous adhesive material disposed between the protection sleeve and the cable insertion tube, and an adhesive material supply hole formed in the cable insertion tube for supplying the optical instantaneous adhesive material to an inside of the cable insertion tube.
