A clamp member comprising:
- a body part that includes:
- a fiber insertion hole where an optical fiber is inserted, and
- a hole for tension member where a tension member is inserted;
- and
- an anchoring screw that fixes the tension member to the body part, wherein
- the clamp member is fixed to an end of an optical cable that includes the optical fiber and the tension member, and
- the clamp member is fixed to and housed in an outer housing of an optical connector.
An optical connector that is attached to an end of an optical cable including an optical fiber and a tension member, the optical connector comprising:
- an outer housing;
- and
- a clamp member that is:
- fixed to the tension member of the optical cable, and
- fixed to and housed in the outer housing, wherein
- the clamp member comprises:
- a body part that includes:
- a fiber insertion hole where the optical fiber is inserted, and
- a hole for tension member where the tension member is inserted;
- and
- an anchoring screw that fixes the tension member to the body part.
A manufacturing method of an optical connector attached to an end of an optical cable that includes an optical fiber and a tension member, the manufacturing method of the optical connector comprising:
- inserting the optical fiber through a fiber insertion hole of a clamp member and inserting the tension member in a hole for tension member of the clamp member;
- tightening an anchoring screw of the clamp member and fixing the tension member to the clamp member;
- and
- housing the clamp member in an outer housing while fixing the clamp member to the outer housing.
