This invention provides an optical fiber wiring board having excellent optical
property, high reliability and high mounting property. This invention relates to
an optical fiber component for connection having a substrate on which a plurality
of optical fibers being wired, wherein a foam polymer layer is provided on a surface
of the substrate wiring the optical fibers, or both on a surface of the substrate
wiring the optical fibers and on a surface opposite to the surface of the substrate
wiring the optical fibers, or so that whole of substrate is covered. The optical
fiber component of the present invention may be further provided with a protective
layer and may be filled with a filler. This invention provides also a manufacturing
method of the optical fiber component for connection.
