ABSTRACT:
An optical connector includes a plug and an adaptor to which the plug is to be connected. The adaptor is formed with a plug body fitting portion and a holder fitting portion. The plug has a plug body to which a optical fiber cable is fixed. A floating holder is arranged in the plug body to be movable in any direction with respect to the plug body. An end of the optical fiber of the cable is attached to a ferrule which is supported by the holder. When the plug is connected to the adaptor, the plug body is fitted to the plug body fitting portion and the holder to the holder fitting portion. At this time, the plug body is locked to the plug body fitting portion by a lock mechanism, and the holder is locked to the holder fitting portion by engaging projections on the holder and engaging holes which are formed in the holder fitting portion and engaged with the projections.
