PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a ferrule connecting structure which requires as few labor hours as possible in replacing devices coupled to ferrules or ferrules themselves, and maintains a holding condition of ferrules after assemblage of the ferrule connecting structure in an ensured fashion and maintains high efficiency of light coupling. SOLUTION: When the split sleeve 3 is accommodated in an accommodating space 19, the split sleeve 3 is pressed in a direction perpendicular to X-axis while in abutment with the curved surface 23 and held. Pressing protrusions 26a, 26b abut against sides of the flanges 8a, 8b, respectively. Then, by the flanges 8a, 8b being pressed in a butting direction by elastic force in the X-axis direction, the pair of ferrules 2a, 2b are held. The rotating positions of the flanges 2a, 2b are set when protrusions 15a, 15b are fitted in grooves 11a, 11b, respectively. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
