MULTI-CORE OPTICAL CONNECTOR AND ITS ASSEMBLY

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the generation of operation miss that a multi-core optical fiber tape core wire passes over a part having difference in level by certifying the learning terminal position of this multi-core optical fiber tape core wire in the middle of a taper part. SOLUTION: An optical fiber 32 leading from an optical fiber tape core wire is guided from a core wire insertion hole 2 through a taper part 3 and a conical entrance part 4 for introducing each optical fiber to an optical fiber introduction hole 5. The optical fiber guided to the optical fiber introduction hole 5 is guided from a conical entrance part 6 of an optical fiber insertion fine hole 7 to an optical fiber insertion fine hole 7. In this case, a leading terminal face 33 on which the optical fiber of the optical fiber tape core wire is exposed is butted to an intermediate position 8 between the optical fiber tape core wire insertion hole 2 and the taper part 3 communicated with the conical entrance part 4 so that the optical fiber tape core wire can be prevented from being advanced any more. Thus, this position is decided as the insertion position of the optical fiber tape core wire.
