Zusammenfassung:The invention provides a coupler whereby an axis direction shift of a multicore fiber is not generated. An optical coupler (17) of the present invention includes a ferrule (13) that holds a multicore fiber (11), and a plug frame (15) having the ferrule (13) housed therein. The ferrule (13) has at least one flat surface (19) on the outer circumferential surface thereof, and the plug frame (15) has a plate spring structure (21) for pressurizing the flat surface (19). In the optical coupler (17) of the present invention, the plate spring structure (21) is integrally molded in the plug frame (15).
