ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A method for measuring the dimension of an optical connector, consisting of a step wherein an inspection ferrule provided with a single optical fiber is inserted in each pin hole in the sample ferrule and an optical fiber or fibers are inserted in the fiber inserting hole or holes, a step wherein the sample ferrule is located on a position measuring apparatus on the X or Y axis, a step wherein a light transmitting & receiving ferrule provided with a light transmitting & receiving fiber, which is installed on a Z-axis stage, is butted against the sample ferrule with a specific distance, a step wherein the sample ferrule is moved in the direction of the axis X or Y by the position measuring apparatus, thereby optically connecting the single optical fiber or one of the optical fibers to the light transmitting & receiving fiber, a step wherein the sample ferrule is moved in the direction of the axis X or Y by the position measuring apparatus and the light transmitting & receiving fiber is switched to the single optical fiber or other optical fiber, thereby measuring the position of each optical fiber of the sample ferrule and the inspection ferrules, and a step wherein the position of the center of each fiber inserting hole based on the pin holes of the sample ferrule is determined from the measurement results.
