Optical fiber cable-equipped connector

An optical fiber cable-equipped connector, in which an optical fiber cable is connected to an opto-electrical conversion connector that converts optical signals and electrical signals,

• wherein said opto-electrical conversion connector is electrically connectable to a mating electrical connector, the mating electrical connector being the connection counterpart of the opto-electrical conversion connector, and said optical fiber cable-equipped connector comprises a conversion element, to which a cable-side optical fiber core exposed from the end of said optical fiber cable is connected and which converts optical signals and electrical signals, and a circuit board that is electrically connected to the conversion element;
• wherein, in said optical fiber cable-equipped connector,
• said conversion element comprises a conversion element-side optical fiber core to which the cable-side optical fiber core is connected;
• said opto-electrical conversion connector comprises an optical fiber connection support that is disposed on a mounting face of said circuit board to support the connected portions of said conversion element-side optical fiber core and said cable-side optical fiber core;
• and
• the optical fiber connection support comprises an alignment support that supports and aligns said conversion element-side optical fiber core and said cable-side optical fiber core,
• wherein an outer surface of said exposed cable-side optical fiber core directly contacts an inner surface of said alignment support.
