Embodiments of this application provides an optical fiber ferrule, where n rows of optical fiber holes are symmetrically distributed on a mating end face of the ferrule, n>=3, and n is an odd number. Based on the layout design of optical fiber holes on the optical fiber ferrule, this application provides an optical fiber connector that includes a plurality of rows of optical fiber holes and that is compatible with one row and a relatively small number of rows of optical fiber holes, so that an optical fiber connector with a large number of cores can be forward compatible with an optical fiber connector with a small number of cores, thereby improving expandability and compatibility of the optical fiber ferrule.
