Abstract
In an optical fiber array structure, a ferrule is provided around an optical fiber array. The ferrule has an outer configuration defined by combination of, preferably, two circles. Thus, eye glass-shaped outer configuration is obtained for the ferrule. The adapter has an aperture for receiving the ferrule, and the aperture has an inner configuration which is complementary with the outer configuration of the ferrule.
