Abstract: An optical loopback member attaches to a counterpart optical connector to face a plurality of optical fibers of the counterpart optical connector that includes a first input optical fiber, second input optical fiber, first output optical fiber, and second output optical fiber. The optical loopback member includes a first reflector including: a first output light reflection surface that reflects a first output light, outputted in a first direction, from the first output optical fiber; and a first input light reflection surface that reflects light reflected by the first output light reflection surface and directs the reflected light to the first input optical fiber arranged in a second direction with respect to the first output optical fiber. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.

Abstract: A cleaning tool that cleans an optical connector includes an adhesive body that contacts an optical signal region of the optical connector where an optical signal enters and is emitted from the optical connector; and a base that holds the adhesive body. The base includes a first protrusion on a holding surface of a holding part that holds the adhesive body. The first protrusion is disposed at a rear side of a section of the adhesive body and is in contact with the optical signal region.

Abstract: A ferrule that holds an end part of an optical fiber includes a fiber hole into which the optical fiber is inserted and an upper wall part and a lower wall part that define a hollow adhesive filling part, where the lower wall part faces the upper wall part. The adhesive filling part is filled with an adhesive applied between the optical fiber inserted in the fiber hole and an inner wall surface of the adhesive filling part. The upper wall part has an upper opening through which the adhesive passes into the adhesive filling part, and the lower wall part has a lower opening that ventilates the adhesive filling part to outside of the ferrule.

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.

Abstract: An optical ferrule and an optical connector are provided, which make it possible to reduce the labor required for an adhesive wiping operation even when the optical ferrule is small-sized. A first adhesive filling recess 113 is equipped, which is formed at an outlet of an optical fiber hole 112 so that a forward end of a bare fiber 120, which is positioned by the optical fiber hole 112, is allowed to abut against an inner wall 113w opposed to the outlet, and the bare fiber 120 is adhered and fixed in a resultant state by means of an adhesive 131 with which the recess is filled, wherein the first adhesive filling recess 113 is provided with adhesive accommodating recesses 115, 117 which are shallower than the first adhesive filling recess 113 and are disposed continuously with the first adhesive filling recess 113.
