ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an optical fiber cable terminal structure which includes a cap member that eliminates any danger of cutting of a reinforcing member even when external forces are applied to the optical fiber cable, and which allow easy re-engagement of an engaging member and an outer covering of the optical fiber cable. The optical fiber cable terminal structure includes a substantially cylindrical cap member (10). The cap member (10) has a cavity (50) inside, and further has a curved surface (35a) on an end surface (35). Curved surface (35a) provides a smooth continuation between an inside surface (36) and an outside surface (32). Reinforcing member (170) of optical fiber cable (100), which is passed through the cavity (50) and folded back along the curved surface (35a), can be fastened to the outer surface (32) by the press-fitting of a sleeve member (90) onto outside surface (32). An engaging member (70) which engages with an outer covering (110) of the optical fiber cable (10) protrudes from rear surface (31) of the cap member (10).
