Abstract
A multicore optical connector includes a connector body having a pair of alignment pin holes and a plurality of optical fiber holes formed therebetween and optical fibers inserted in the optical fiber holes such that the end faces of the optical fibers are exposed through the optical fiber holes. In the multicore optical connector, the optical fiber holes are divided into optical fiber hole groups of a number which coincides with the number of the groups of the optical fibers, and the optical fiber hole groups are separated from one another.
