Optical communication connector, optical communication cable, and electronic device

An optical communication cable, comprising:

• an optical transmission path;
• and
• an optical communication connector including a collimating lens configured to collimate light from the optical transmission path;
• a refracting section on a leading end side with respect to the collimating lens, wherein:
• the refracting section is configured to refract the light passing through the collimating lens, and eject the refracted light,
• the refracting section comprises a first refracting surface and a second refracting surface;
• a first scattering member that comprises a first scattering section at a first portion of the first scattering member, wherein the first portion of the first scattering member is on the leading end side with respect to the collimating lens;
• and
• a second scattering member that comprises a second scattering section at a second portion of the second scattering member, wherein:
• the second portion of the second scattering member is on the leading end side with respect to the collimating lens,
• the first scattering member is parallel to the second scattering member,
• the refracting section is interposed between the first scattering member and the second scattering member,
