A pair of fiber holders 19 for holding and fixing the optical fiber are provided on both end sides of the lid part 23. The fiber holders 19 are attached to a fiber storing part 31 so as to be able to open and close, and comprises a lid part 33 for pressing the optical fiber against the fiber storing part 31. A changeover lever 34 capable of moving in the longitudinal direction of the sleeve storing groove is provided on the upper face of the lid part 33. A pin 36 moving in conjunction with the changeover lever 34 is built in the lid part 33.
