Abstract
An optical fiber is contacted by a first guide part on the inside of a bend. The first guide part is disposed apart from a region of a fixing member from which the optical fiber is drawn out. Specifically, a first non-contact part in which the optical fiber does not contact a guide member is provided between the first guide part and the drawn out part of the optical fiber from the fixing member. The optical fiber also contacts a second guide part on the outside of the bend. The second guide part is disposed apart from the first guide part, and a second non-contact part in which the optical fiber does not contact the guide member is also provided between the first guide part and the second guide part.
