PURPOSE:To securely and easily connect equipment to an optical fiber without using any adhesive, etc., by using a connection and terminal component by cutting a thread in the terminal part of the clad part of the optical fiber. CONSTITUTION:Two optical fibers which can be connected with each other are formed of cores 1 and clads 2, the surfaces of the terminal parts of the clads 2 are thread-cut, and the connection component 3 such as a nut is fitted to the screws, thereby easily connecting the two optical fibers. A fixing component 4 is arranged at the periphery of the connection component 3 and fixed with a set screw 5, and a spring 6 is provided between the connection component 3 and fixing component 5 to prevent the screw 5 from being loosened, thereby securing the connection. Further, when an optical link 7 provided with a light emitting and receiving element 8 is connected to an optical fiber, the connection and terminal component 3 is fitted to the optical link 7 and the optical fiber having a thread in its clad 2 is screwed in to easily connect the optical fiber and optical link 7 with each other. |
