ABSTRACT:
A short optical fiber 2 is incorporated in a ferrule 1 having a polished front end, so as to be projected from the rear end of the ferrule. In a base member 3 in which the short optical fiber is to be fitted into a hole 3b, a V-groove 3d to which the glass portion of an optical fiber is to be fixed, and a V-groove 3e to which the coated portion is to be fixed are formed. A cover member 4 is placed on the base member. The base member 3 and the cover member 4 are clamped by clamp members 5a and 5b and the base member 3 presses the V-grooves. Wedges which are not shown are pressingly inserted between recesses 3g and 4c, and 3h and 4d, and an optical fiber 10 is inserted from the rear portion. Thereafter, the wedges are detached and the optical connector is attached to the terminal of the optical fiber 10.
