Abstract
An optical ring network, an optical connector, and a hybrid connector is provided, wherein a leading-out direction of an optical fiber can be changed without bringing about bad influence on the light transmitted with the optical fiber. An optical plug 24 as an optical connector includes a pair of ferrules 31 to be attached to the respective ends of a pair of optical fibers 25 and an optical adapter 32 having accommodating chambers 101 to accommodate the respective end portions of the optical fibers 25 with the respective ferrules 31. And, directing members 26, 27 to direct the respective optical fibers 25 led out of the optical adapter 32 are secured to the respective ferrules 31, and the ferrules 31 with the directing members 26, 27 are pivotably accommodated in the respective accommodating chambers 101.
