Abstract
In a fiber connection structure with optical connectors according to one embodiment, among m first connector port groups, arrangement orders of colors of a plurality of the optical fibers in (2×j−1)th (j is a natural number satisfying 1≤j and 2×j≤m) first connector port groups are the same, and among the m first connector port groups, arrangement orders of the colors of the plurality of optical fibers in (2×j)th first connector port groups are the same. The arrangement order of the colors of the plurality of optical fibers in the (2×j)th first connector port group is a reverse order of the arrangement order of the colors of the plurality of optical fibers in the (2×j−1)th first connector port group.
