Abstract: A connector includes an optical fiber and a case, and converts an optical signal input from the optical fiber into an electrical signal and outputs the electrical signal, or converts an input electrical signal into an optical signal and outputs the optical signal to the optical fiber. The case has a wall into which the optical fiber is inserted. The rear wall has an upper end and a lower end facing each other with a space therebetween so that the optical fiber intervenes in the space. The case includes an upper protruding wall protruding in the front-rear direction and a lower protruding wall protruding in the front-rear direction. Between the upper free end of the upper protruding wall and the lower free end of the lower protruding wall, a first space is defined so the optical fiber can freely move in the width direction.
