ABSTRACT:
A plastic ferrule for an optical connector comprises a cylindrical portion having one insertion hole for fixing an optical fiber and directly related to connection, a holding portion for allowing the cylindrical portion to be stably held in an optical connector, and an guiding portion for allowing an optical fiber to be guided into the ferrule. The ferrule has a hollow, cylindrical hole centering around the insertion hole inside the cylindrical portion. Thus, the ferrule has excellent dimensional accuracy of the outer diameter, and achieves connection of single mode fibers excellent in connection reliability and economy.
