<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To achieve a lower cost, high efficiency, and reduction in height for an optical communication module. <P>SOLUTION: An optical communication module includes an optical transmission part 10, an optical reception part 20, and an optical transmission path. The optical transmission path includes a multi-core optical fiber 31 and a single core optical fiber 32 which has a smaller core diameter than a whole core diameter summing that of the fiber 31. The multi-core optical fiber 31 and the single core optical fiber 32 are connected by a diameter conversion connector 33 to each other. Then, each element wire 311 exposed on the other end side of the multi-core optical fiber 31 is flatly laid down, and, in the state as such, housed in a guide groove 111 of the optical transmission part 10. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
