Abstract
An optical connector cable including an optical cable, a first resin member, and a second resin member is disclosed. The optical cable includes a plurality of optical fibers and a sheath surrounding the plurality of optical fibers. End portions of the plurality of optical fibers extend to the outside from an end surface of the sheath. The first resin member holds the end portions of the plurality of optical fibers extending to the outside from the end surface of the sheath. The second resin member covers at least a part of the first resin member and an end portion of the sheath.
Claims18
An optical connector cable comprising:
- an optical cable that includes a plurality of optical fibers and a sheath surrounding the plurality of optical fibers, wherein end portions of the plurality of optical fibers extend to outside of an end surface of the sheath;
- a first resin member that holds the end portions of the plurality of optical fibers extending to outside of the end surface of the sheath;
- and
- a second resin member that covers at least a part of the first resin member and an end portion of the sheath, wherein
- the first resin member includes a first tube surrounding the end portions of the plurality of optical fibers extending to outside of the end surface of the sheath,
- an end surface of the first tube contacts with the end surface of the sheath, and
- the second resin member includes a second tube surrounding a contact part between the end surface of the first tube and the end surface of the sheath.
