た。Prior Art and Problems Conventionally, optical connectors have been used to connect optical fibers. In this optical connector, the end faces of the optical fibers must be completely abutted to each other in order to reduce optical coupling loss. If a foreign object enters between the end faces of the optical fiber, it will not only cause optical coupling loss, but if it is made of hard material such as metal, it will scratch the end face of the optical fiber and create defects that cannot be removed even by cleaning. . Therefore, it is necessary to clean the end face of the optical fiber every time it is attached or detached. For this reason, optical connectors that can be attached and detached by hand are simply cleaned with a cotton swab or the like. However, in a device such as the unit 2 shown in FIG. 1, which is equipped with a large number of printed circuit boards 1 in a plug-in type, the optical connector 3 is located in the back, so the optical connector fixed to the back panel 4 is Cleaning was extremely difficult and it was impossible to clean thoroughly. In addition, there were other problems such as the need to remove other printed circuit boards in order to secure space for cleaning (which may be structurally impossible in some cases).
