ABSTRACT:
An optical connector in which an optical fiber is fixed within a ferrule such that a tip of the optical fiber is disposed at a front end face position of the ferrule. An optical-fiber-positioning hole formed so as to directly extend into the ferrule from an optical connecting orifice formed in the front end face of the ferrule has a diameter greater than a diameter of the optical fiber positioned within the optical-fiber-positioning hole, the optical-fiber-positioning hole having therein a compressible unfixing area for allowing the optical fiber to compress along the optical-fiber-positioning hole, and a fixing area, disposed behind the compressible unfixing area, for fixing the optical fiber to the ferrule.
