Multiple fiber optic jacks 20 for inserting optical fibers 100 are provided on the ferrule body 2. The front end face of the ferrule body 2 is a sloping plane with a forward-protruding top. The front end face of the optical fiber 100 is flush with the front end face of the ferrule body 2. The rear end of the lens body 1 has a rear recess 10, and the bottom of the rear recess 10 has a... Multiple rear lens sections 11 are aligned with the end faces of the optical fiber 100. The lens body 1 includes a total reflection surface 12. Multiple lower lens sections 13 are provided on the lens body 1 below the total reflection surface 12. Each lower lens section 13 corresponds to a PD chip 3.

At the same time, the rear lens part 11 is aligned with the end face of the optical fiber 100. When the optical fiber 100 emits a laser signal, the laser signal passes through the rear lens part 11 and is transmitted to the total reflection surface 12. Then, the total reflection surface 12 reflects the laser signal to the lower lens part 13, and finally passes through the lower lens part 13 and is transmitted to the PD chip 3.
