Abstract
An optical connector retaining unit includes: an optical connector retaining member that retains an optical connector of a distal end of an optical fiber in a connection standby state being optically connected to nothing; and a reflecting section that reflects visible light emitted from the distal end of the optical fiber after led into a proximal end of the optical fiber opposite to the distal end thereof provided with the optical connector, at an inclination angle of 45 degrees or less with respect to an optical axis of the emitted visible light, or a scattering section that scatters visible light emitted from the distal end of the optical fiber such that scattered light includes light within the inclination angle of 45 degrees or less with respect to the optical axis of the emitted visible light.
