Abstract

An optical connector includes a second operation lever extending rearward from a first operation lever. By pressing a rear end portion of the second operation lever up, or pressing the second operation lever forward, the first operation lever can be inclined forward. In this way, a front end portion of the first operation lever presses a rear end portion of a locking lever down, and disengages the locking lever and an optical adapter from each other. Thus, the optical connector can be detached from the optical adapter.
