Abstract:
1. An optical connector that is assembled at the terminal of an optical fiber cable that integrates an optical fiber and a tension-resisting member extending in the longitudinal direction of the optical fiber, the optical connector comprising: a connector body having a stationary portion at the rear end thereof, the stationary portion having a threaded portion formed on the outer periphery surface, and a fixing cap that is screwed onto the threaded portion of the stationary portion, wherein the fixing cap fixes the tension-resisting member that has been drawn out from the optical fiber cable terminal by sandwiching the tension-resisting member between the fixing cap and the connector body when the fixing cap is screwed onto the stationary portion, a front end portion of the fixing cap is thin-walled, the connector body comprises the stationary portion and a base portion, the stationary portion extends from the base portion and has a cylindrical shape, and when fixing the tension-resisting member, the tension-resisting member is sandwiched between the fixing cap and the base portion of the connector body, and the front end portion of the fixing cap is deformed in accordance with the shape of the sandwiched tension-resisting member.
