Abstract:
An optical connector attached to a plurality of buffered optical fibers each including: a bare optical fiber; and a tube in which the bare optical fiber is inserted in. A multi-fiber optical connector is connected to first ends of the buffered optical fibers, and a plurality of single-fiber optical connectors are respectively connected to second ends of the buffered optical fibers. The multi-fiber optical connector includes: a ferrule fixed to ends of the bare optical fibers; a connector housing that houses the ferrule therein; and a tube fixing portion that fixes the tubes to the connector housing. The buffered optical fiber has a bare fiber fixing portion in which the bare optical fiber and the tube are fixed at a location closer to the ferrule than the tube fixing portion within the multi-fiber optical connector.

Claim (Index 1):
An optical connector to be attached to a plurality of buffered optical fibers each comprising a tube and a bare optical fiber inserted into the tube, the optical connector comprising:\n a multi-fiber optical connector that connects to first ends of the buffered optical fibers; and a plurality of single-fiber optical connectors that each connect to a second end of a respective buffered optical fiber among the plurality of buffered optical fibers, wherein the multi-fiber optical connector includes:\n a ferrule that gets fixed to ends of the bare optical fibers; \n a connector housing that houses the ferrule; and \n a tube fixing portion where the tubes are fixed to the connector housing, \n wherein each of the buffered optical fibers comprises a bare fiber fixing portion that fixes the bare optical fiber to the tube at a location closer to the ferrule than the tube fixing portion within the multi-fiber optical connector.
