Abstract: In an optical-connector-incorporating plug accommodating and holding an optical connector in a barrel at a front end thereof and accommodating, in the barrel, an extra length portion of an optical fiber extending from an optical cable to the optical connector, the extra length portion bends as the optical connector is moved toward a back end of the barrel when the optical connector is connected to a mating receptacle; the distance from the position where the optical connector is held to the outer wall of the barrel depends on the direction, among the directions orthogonal to the direction in which the optical connector is moved; and a guide portion guiding the bend of the extra length portion in a direction other than the direction where the distance to the outer wall of the barrel is the shortest is formed in the barrel. The optical-connector-incorporating plug can be reduced in size.

Abstract: A connector of the present invention comprises a sleeve, a latch, a stopper, a slider, a pressing projection, and a slider impelling section. The latch has locking projections that provide on both sides at the back end thereof in the transverse direction and a notch formed from the back end toward the front end of the latch. The slider is disposed behind the sleeve in the insertion direction so as to be able to move backward in the insertion direction with respect to the stopper. The pressing projection is disposed at the position of the notch in the latch and is securely coupled with the slider by means of a coupling section penetrating the notch. The slider impelling section presses the slider toward the stopper in the insertion direction.
