<p>An optical connector (70) to be connected to an optical plug holding optical fibers (91) includes: a light-emitting element (71); a light-receiving element (72); and sleeves (30,40) that optically connect the light-emitting element and the light-receiving element to optical fibers of the optical plug, respectively, in which a transmission sleeve (30) and a reception sleeve (40) are connected to each other via a link section (50) to form a sleeve unit (61). The sleeve unit (61) is secured by press-fitting the link section (50) into a connector body (80). A stress caused by the press fitting is not exerted to the transmission sleeve (30) and the reception sleeve (40), so that the optical functions (optical properties) of the sleeves can be prevented from being compromised by the stress.</p> |
