Abstract
An optical fiber connector (19) has a connector main body including a first pipe (20) for receiving a fiber (24) inside, and three second pipes (21a) through (21c) for receiving the first pipe (20) inside. With this arrangement, the fiber (24) can be securely held with ease at the center of the connector main body. On this account, it is possible to provide the optical fiber connector (19) in which the fiber (24) is securely held with ease at the center of the connector main body.
