ABSTRACT:
An optical connector includes a first ferrule which holds the ends of a first optical fiber unit including at least one optical fiber, and a housing. The housing is a U-shaped member with parallel arms extending in the lengthwise direction of the first optical fiber unit. The housing surrounds one of the widthwise sides of the first ferrule from which the first optical fiber unit is derived and the lengthwise sides of the first ferrule, whereby the housing accommodates the first ferrule. The housing receives a second ferrule which holds the ends of a second optical fiber unit including at least one optical fiber through the U-shaped opening. The housing surrounds the lengthwise side of the second ferrule and a part of the side of the second ferrule from which the second optical fiber unit is derived, whereby the first and second ferrules are coupled together.
