Abstract
A multi-ferrule structure comprising a plurality of ferrule units each for a single optical fiber. The ferrule units are disposed in contact with an adjacent one(s) in such a way that the respective axes of the ferrule units are in parallel with each other in one and the same plane. The ferrule units make one multi-ferrule set. The maximum deviation of the distance between optical axis of the optical fibers inserted in the respective ferrule units of the multi-ferrule set is very small. When a number of optical fibers are connected with the same number of other photoconductive components by using the multi-ferrule structure, the positioning accuracy for abutting connection is remarkably improved. In addition, the multi-ferrule structure becomes small in size and compact one.
