Claim:
A connectored cable comprising: a cable having an optical fiber for transmitting an optical signal; and a connector that accommodates a substrate on which a photoelectric conversion portion that is optically coupled to an end face of the optical fiber is installed, and in which the optical fiber is wired so that at least three bent portions are formed, the orientation of the optical fiber in a front-rear direction being changed, the optical fiber being bent into a U shape at each of the bent portions, and so that one of two bent portions on a front side is located on a down side of the substrate and the other bent portion on the front side is located on an up side of the substrate, the front-rear direction referring to a direction in which the cable extends from the connector, a rear side referring to a side in which the cable extends as seen from the connector, the front side referring to an opposite side of the side in which the cable extends, the up side referring to a side of the photoelectric conversion portion as seen from the substrate, the down side referring to an opposite side of the side of the photoelectric conversion portion.
