Abstract
An optical connector includes: a ferrule that has a connection end surface in which fiber holes are formed side by side in a first direction; a biasing member configured to bias the ferrule in a second direction in which the fiber holes extend; a housing configured to accommodate the biasing member and part of the ferrule; a coupling configured to be attached to an outer side of the housing such that the coupling is configured to move in the second direction; and a boot configured to engage with the coupling and configure to move integrally with the coupling. The boot is disposed, as viewed from the second direction, inside an outer contour of the coupling.
