    Abstract: A ferrule includes: a ferrule body including a first body-side guide hole into which a first guide pin is inserted, a second body-side guide hole into which a second guide pin is inserted, and an optical fiber holder that holds an optical fiber; and a lens plate including a first plate-side guide hole into which the first guide pin is inserted, a second plate-side guide hole into which the second guide pin is inserted, a lens part, and an abutment surface that an end face of the optical fiber abuts. The first guide pin fits the first body-side guide hole and the first plate-side guide hole. The second guide pin fits one of the second body-side guide hole or the second plate-side guide hole.

    Abstract: A connector system includes: a first ferrule configured to hold end parts of multi-core fibers; a second ferrule configured to hold end parts of single-core fibers; and an optical connection member. The optical connection member is arranged between the first and the second ferrule, and includes an optical system configured to optically connect respective cores included in the multi-core fibers and the single-core fibers. A guide pin is formed on one of the first and the second ferrule, and a guide hole is formed in another of the first and the second ferrule. A through hole is formed in the optical connection member, and the first ferrule, the optical connection member, and the second ferrule can be aligned by fitting the guide pin in the guide hole through the through hole.

    Abstract: A boot configured to be attached to a ferrule includes: a fiber insertion hole into which optical fibers are inserted; a lower part on one side with respect to the fiber insertion hole; and an upper part on another side with respect to the fiber insertion hole. The fiber insertion hole is disposed to correspond with fiber holes of the ferrule that are disposed in an array in one direction. The upper part includes a protrusion part that protrudes relative to an end surface of the lower part in a fiber insertion direction. The ferrule includes: an adhesive filling part configured to be filled with an adhesive; and a stepped part that guides the optical fibers into the fiber holes.

    Abstract: A ferrule includes: a main body configured to hold an end of a first optical fiber and an end of a second optical fiber parallel to the first optical fiber; and a lens plate including a first abutment surface configured to abut against an end face of the first optical fiber, a second abutment surface configured to abut against an end face of the second optical fiber, a first lens configured to face the end face of the first optical fiber, and a second lens configured to face the end face of the second optical fiber. The first abutment surface is inclined with respect to a plane perpendicular to a first optical axis of the first optical fiber. The second abutment surface is inclined with respect to a plane perpendicular to a second optical axis of the second optical fiber.
