Method of terminating an optical fiber.

摘要

An optical connector (4) for an optical fiber (2) has a plug (14) to be mounted to an aligner (18). The plug (14) is comprised of a cylindrical rod of a relatively great hardness and a core member (28) which has a lower hardness and which allows easy machining. The core member (28) is inserted and fixed in the hole formed in the cylindrical rod. A small hole is then formed in the core member (28). The optical fiber (2) extends within the hole of the cylindrical rod and the tip end (8) of the optical fiber (2) is fixed into the small hole of the core member (28).
