Abstract

A lens (311) of a plug (31) converts an optical signal from an optical fiber cable (20) to light of a prescribed angle of divergence and emits same. A plug casing (315) anchors the optical fiber cable (20) and the lens (311). On an emission face (20a) side of the optical fiber cable (20), the lens (311) is at a position whereat the optical signal from the optical fiber cable (20) becomes the light of the prescribed angle of divergence. The optical signal emitted from the plug (31) will be diffused when entering an eye of a person in the vicinity, so harmful impact on visual function, etc. can be prevented.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an optical connector, an optical cable, and an optical communication device that prevent optical signals from adversely affecting visual functions and the like. Background technique [0002] In optical communication using laser light, optical cables are connected by, for example, optical connectors. In a well-known optical connector, a lens for collimating optical signals communicated between the plug and receptacle is provided on one of the plug side and the receptacle side, and a lens for collecting parallel light is provided on the other side. . As described above, if communication is performed between the plug and the receptacle by using parallel light, optical communication can be performed without highly accurately positioning the end face of the optical cable at a predetermined interval to face each other with the photodetector, etc., and Inexpensive optical connectors are available. [0003] Furthermore, in P...
