Optical interconnection apparatus

摘要

An optical interconnection apparatus comprises an adhesive layer (3) having a 2-dimensional plane, and optical fibers (4) secured on the adhesive layer (3). The optical fibers (4) are routed on the adhesive layer (3) so as to have at least one of an intersection portion, a bent portion, and a changing portion of fiber pitch, and to have a end portion (5) outwardly projecting from the adhesive layer. The projecting end portion is used for optical interconnection. At least a portion of the circumferential edge surface of the adhesive layer is covered by a flame resistant material at an end of the optical fiber and in the vicinity thereof.
