Abstract:
An optical fiber connector that optically couples a first optical fiber to a second optical fiber is disclosed. The optical fiber connector includes a first ferrule having a first through hole and a first end face, the first through hole receiving the first optical fiber; a second ferrule having a second through hole and a second end face, the second through hole receiving the second optical fiber, the second end face being apart from the first end face with a gap; a sleeve having a third through hole receiving the the first ferrule and the second ferrule; and an adhesive provided in the gap between the first and the second end faces. The first ferrule and the second ferrule are to be fixed to an inner peripheral surface of the sleeve with the adhesive.

Claim (Index 1):
An optical fiber connector that optically couples a first optical fiber to a second optical fiber, the optical fiber connector comprising:\n a first ferrule having a first peripheral surface, a first through hole, and a first end face, the first through hole receiving the first optical fiber; a second ferrule having a second peripheral surface, a second through hole, and a second end face, the second through hole receiving the second optical fiber, the second end face being apart from the first end face with a gap; a sleeve having a third peripheral surface and a third through hole, the third through hole receiving the the first ferrule and the second ferrule; and an adhesive provided in the gap between the first and the second end faces, wherein the first ferrule and the second ferrule are to be fixed to an inner peripheral surface of the sleeve with the adhesive.
