Abstract:
1. An optical connector with optical fibers comprising: silica glass optical fibers which are coated with resin coating layers at distal ends of the optical fibers; and a ferrule made from resin; wherein: the optical fibers are inserted into optical fiber openings of the ferrule; the optical fiber openings are arranged on a connecting end face; at least a part of said resin coating layer of said inserted optical fiber is glued to an inner face of said optical fiber opening; an outer diameter of said resin coating layer of said optical fiber is less than or equal to 125 μm; and the Young's modulus of said resin coating layer is less than the Young's modulus of the ferrule, and the Young's modulus of said resin coating layer is 2000 MPa to 10000 MPa.
