Abstract:
An MCF of the present embodiment has eight or more cores. A diameter of a common cladding is not more than 126 μm. Optical characteristics of each core are as follows: a TL at a predetermined wavelength of 1310 nm is not more than 0.4 dB/km; an MFD at the predetermined wavelength is from 8.0 μm to 10.1 μm; a BL in a BR of not less than 5 mm or in the BR of not less than 3 mm and, less than 5 mm is not more than 0.25 dB/turn at the predetermined wavelength; λ0 is from 1300 nm to 1324 nm; λcc is not more than 1260 nm; an XT or XTs at the predetermined wavelength is not more than 0.001/km.

Claim (Index 16):
A pair of optical connectors butted against each other, each of the butted optical connectors comprising: a resin ferrule; and four or more multi-core optical fibers arrayed in the ferrule,\n wherein in each of the butted optical connectors,\n each of the multi-core optical fibers has a common cladding with a diameter of 124 to 126 \u03bcm, and two or more cores, \n in each of the multi-core optical fibers, an outmost core is arranged so that a distance between a core center of the outmost core out of the two or more cores and a center of a cross section of the common cladding is not more than 45 \u03bcm, \n projection amounts of end faces of the respective multi-core optical fibers from an end face of the ferrule are not less than 2 \u03bcm, and a variation of the projection amounts among the multi-core optical fibers is not more than 0.3 \u03bcm, and \n the end faces projecting from the end face of the ferrule are polished, and \n wherein in each pair of the faced multi-core optical fibers of the butted optical connectors, a pressing force for achieving physical contact connection of each pair of the faced cores is 22 N or less.
