Abstract:
An optical connector-equipped fiber ( 2 A,  2 B) has optical fibers ( 10 a ), a ferrule ( 11 ), guide holes, and a structure for regulating a space between end faces ( 11 a ) of the ferrules ( 11 ). A relative position between the end faces ( 11 a ) is fixed by guide pins being inserted into the guide holes. Normals with respect to leading end faces of the optical fibers are inclined with respect to optical axes of the optical fibers. MFDs of the optical fibers are gradually expanded toward the leading end faces and are maximized at the leading end faces. The optical axes of the pair of facing optical fibers that are optically coupled are not present on the same optical axis.

Claim (Index 4):
The optical connector-equipped fiber according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein the spacer is formed of the same material as the ferrule.
