OPTICAL CONNECTION COMPONENT AND METHOD OF PRODUCING THE SAME

摘要

An optical connection component for easy optical connection without changing the layout pattern of congested optical fibers and a method of producing the same are disclosed. The optical connection component comprises a filmy substrate (1) having a two-dimensional surface, optical fibers (4) laid out on the two-dimensional surface of the substrate, a dam-like body (7) provided along or near the edges of the substrate (1), a resin protective layer (2) for fixing and protecting the optical fibers, and a terminal part (5) for optical connection provided at the ends of the optical fibers, the resin protective layer being formed by filling the inside of the dam-like body with a resin material and by curing the material.
