Abstract

An optical connector includes: an optical cable in which an end part including a tip of a plastic optical fiber is exposed; a tubular strength member that receives the end part of the plastic optical fiber and a covering layer therein, and retains a lateral surface of the covering layer; and a housing including a coupling part that includes a through-hole which communicates bottoms of first and second tubular parts. The first tubular part receives a part of the end part of the plastic optical fiber therein so that the tip of the plastic optical fiber projects from an edge of the first tubular part, and the second tubular part comes in close contact with a lateral surface of the received part of the strength member. Further a space allowing a curvature of the end part of the plastic optical fiber is formed within the strength member.
