| Summary: | An optical connector, which is capable of enhancing fittability into a cabinet, or the like on account of compactification and also avoiding problems of an increase of bead loss, a breakage, etc. of an optical fiber, can be provided. In an optical connector that houses a fusion-spliced portion , in which a short optical fiber that is fitted previously to an optical connector ferrule and a coated optical fiber are fusion spliced together and holds the fusion-spliced portion therein, one end of a protection sleeve made of the thermal shrinkage material that externally fixes the fusion-spliced portion is coupled to the optical connector ferrule . An air escape hole ffor escaping an air, which is confined in the protection sleeve when the protection sleeve is thermally shrunk and adhered closely to the optical connector ferrule , to the outside is formed in the optical connector ferrule |
