PURPOSE:To prevent the mixture of foreign matters into the connected part of an optical part, by attaching a buffer member to a tube which serves as a reinforcing member to the connected part of an optical fiber. CONSTITUTION:A hole 3 smaller than the outer diameter of the core wire of an optical fiber to be connected is formed at the center of a buffer member 2 and in the lengthwise direction of a tube 1. In this case, a reticle cut 4 is also available for the member 2 instead of the hole 3. Thus the member 2 uses a soft material like sponge, etc. having high adhesive properties so that the core wire to be connected can be easily put through the hole 3 or the cut 4, that is, the member 2 can move easily on the fiber line. |
