OPTICAL CONNECTOR FERRULE

摘要

A ferrule for use in an optical connector enabling effective suppression of the increase in the insertion loss resulting from repeated attachments/detachments of the optical connector. In the ferrule for use in an optical connector, a plurality of grooves 17 are formed in a fitting surface 16A of a ferrule main body 11 located between the ferrule main body 11 and a connection sleeve SL. And, a ferrule 2 for use in an optical connector, a plurality of concentric annular grooves 27 are formed in a connection end surface 24 of the ferrule main body 21 having a connection end 22A of the optical fiber 22 exposed thereon. <IMAGE>
