Abstract

An optical fiber side input and output device in which light can be input and output from the side of the tube core cable without adjusting a spacing even in a case where the thickness of the protective tube differs, and a method of designing the optical fiber side input and output device is provided. An optical fiber side input and output device has a structure in which an angle of a central angle of an apex portion of a first jig having a convex portion is appropriately set, and a loss insertion is kept equal to or less than a prescribed value by using a relationship between a spacing at the angle and an insertion loss when light is input and output from the side of the tube core cable.
