Abstract
The sleeve holder for an optical connector capable of preventing slip-off or disconnecting of the sleeve holder from a housing and eliminating breaking of a split sleeve due to the increase of an insertion force of the ferrule by maintaining always no-load state for engaging pieces. A tube-shaped main body inserted and held in the housing is mounted therein with a slider slidable in an axis direction. A split sleeve inserting and holding the ferrule is mounted at the insides of a tube body and the slider fixedly engaged coaxially with the main body, and such mount of the split sleeve together with the slider is slidable by a predetermined stroke in the axis direction.
