OPTICAL CONNECTOR, CABLE, AND OPTICAL COMMUNICATION DEVICE

摘要

A lens 311 of a plug 31 converts a light signal from an optical fiber cable 20 to light of a predetermined divergence angle in order to emit the light. A plug housing 315 fixes the optical fiber cable 20 and the lens 311. The lens 311 is positioned such that the light signal from the optical fiber cable 20 becomes the light of the predetermined divergence angle at an emission surface 20a side of the optical fiber cable 20. The light signal emitted from the plug 31 becomes dispersed when entering into the eyeball of a nearby person, and therefore can be prevented from exerting adverse effect on visual function and the like.
