MANUFACTURING METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING MULTI-FIBER CONNECTOR AND MULTI-FIBER CONNECTOR

摘要

A manufacturing method for manufacturing a multi-fiber connector, including: shaping a part of each of a plurality of optical fibers such that a part of an outer peripheral surface of a glass fiber including one end portion becomes a flat surface; arranging each of the plurality of optical fibers in a positioning component such that the entire flat surface protrudes from the positioning component; rotationally aligning each of the plurality of optical fibers such that the flat surface comes into contact with a reference surface of a jig; fixing each of the plurality of optical fibers to the positioning component; and cutting and removing a part of the glass fiber which protrudes from the positioning component and includes the flat surface and grinding a cut surface of each of the plurality of optical fibers which is exposed from the positioning component.
