OPTICAL FIBER MODULE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical fiber module capable of reducing the number of components in an optical coupling structure, enhancing the productivity and reducing the coupling loss. SOLUTION: The optical fiber module 11 is provided with a ferrule 13 having a ferrule hole 20 therein and an optical fiber cable 12 whose terminal is inserted into the ferrule 13 and is fixed. A convex lens 18a is formed on the ferrule tip part 18 as the tip part for optical coupling of the ferrule 13. A light transmission member 14 having light transmission and flexibility is held between the innermost part 20a-1 as a convex lens 18a side of the ferrule hole 20 and the tip of the optical fiber 15 of an optical fiber cable 12.
