PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a straight optical connector which is excellent for working in the fields and can connect the fiber optic cables accurately and securely without requiring skills. SOLUTION: This optical connector 10 has a splice 18 to hold the built-in optical fiber strands 16 fixed in a ferrule 14 and the fiber strands of an outside optic fiber cable, closely abutting with each other at their ends. The main part 12 of the optical connector 10 is provided with a cable retainer 20 to retain the fiber optic cable. The cable retainer 20, while holding the fiber optic cable, makes the fiber strands abut the optical fiber strand 16 to be assembled in the splice 18, and positions the fiber strands of the cable at a place ready to bend by the pressure in its length direction between the splice 18 and the cable retainer 20.
