Optical connector and active optical cable using the same

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to an optical connector and an active optical cable using the same. The optical connector includes an optical boundary surface on which light emitted from an optical fiber is incident; a reflector changing the direction of traveling of light incident through the optical boundary surface; and a lens emitting light reflected through the reflector outside. The reflector has a cylindrical shape and converts light incident on the reflector into light traveling parallel to a first direction, and the lens has a cylindrical shape and converts light incident on the lens into light traveling parallel to a second direction which is perpendicular to the first direction.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
