PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a simultaneously connecting structure capable of simultaneously and easily connecting plural optical connectors with good accuracy with a smaller number of parts and an optical connector arraying means and adapter used for this connecting structure. SOLUTION: First and second plugs 5, 6 respectively arrayed with respective first and second optical connector groups 3, 4 are connected via the adapter 8. The connecting end face 45 sides of the respective first and second optical connector groups 3, 4 are projected from the front ends of the first and second plugs 5, 6 and are arrayed afloat in an X direction and a Y direction. The connecting end face 45 sides of the respective connector groups 3, 4 are fitted from both sides of the adapter 8. The positions in the X direction and Y direction of the optical connectors of the respective connecting pairs are regulated by first and second guides 31, 33 of every optical connector of the nuclear connecting pairs disposed in a plurality at the adapter 8, by which the first and second optical connector groups 3, 4 are simultaneously connected. |
