Abstract
A plug set for optical connector for optical fiber cables arranged to fix reinforcing fibers of an optical fiber cable by at first placing the reinforcing fibers round an outer surface of an end portion of a bushing for inserting the optical fiber cable therein, attaching a thermo-shrinkable tube to the end portion of the bushing after the above so that the reinforcing fibers are covered with the thermo-shrinkable tube and, then, heating the tube so that the tube shrinks, the plug set for optical connector being arranged to thereby fix the reinforcing fibers without using a bonding agent.
