ABSTRACT:
The optical connector includes a holder unit, a first optical fiber fixedly supported by the holder unit and having an inclined end face, a first collimating lens spaced from the inclined end face, a mounting unit supported relative to the holder unit, a second optical fiber disposed opposite the first collimating lens and having an inclined end face, a second collimating lens disposed between the first collimating lens and the second optical fiber and spaced from the inclined end face of the second optical fiber, wherein an optical transmission system comprising the first optical fiber and the first collimating lens is symmetric to an optical transmission system comprising the second optical fiber and the second collimating lens with respect to a plane perpendicular to the optical axis.
