PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To surely connect optical fibers to each other by a simple connecting stage while suppressing the size and cost of a connecting part to a lower level. SOLUTION: This optical fiber connecting mechanism is constituted by bringing the front ends of a ferrule 3a to which the optical fiber 2a is attached and a ferrule 3b to which the optical fiber 2b is attached into contact with each other, covering the contact portion with a split sleeve 5 and further, covering the outside thereof with a heat shrinkable tube 4. The heat shrinkable tube 4 is shrunk by heating the heat shrinkable tube 4 and the slit sleeve 5 is converged by the shrinkage force thereof, thereby, the ferrules 3a and 3b are fixed.
