ABSTRACT:
An optical connector has an optical-connector housing in which a ferrule at an extending end of an optical fiber is incorporated. The optical-connector housing is provided at opposite ends thereof with arm portions to abut against a housing of an electrical connector. Accordingly, the optical connector and the electrical connector are prevented from connecting to each other so that damage to the optical connector is reduced.
