OPTICAL FIBER WITH OPTICAL CONNECTORS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To greatly reduce a space necessary for optical wiring as compared with a conventional technique.SOLUTION: Provided is an optical fiber 20 including optical connectors 21 on respective both ends and used for optical wiring in equipment. The two optical connectors 21 are parallel in connection direction and arranged in parallel. The optical fiber 22 between the two optical connectors 21 includes: a linear portion 22a; and two bent portions 22b and 22c extending from both ends of the linear portion 22a to the respective optical connectors 21. The bent portions 22b and 22c are formed by applying and curing a resin and formed into a circular arc having a curvature radius equal to or larger than an allowable curvature radius of the optical fiber 22 and a central angle of 90°.
