摘要 |
The invention provides an optical-fibre connector, in which an end 6 of an optical fibre is secured within a ferrule 5, and the ferrule is biased, or urged by a spring, in a nominal axial direction away from a support 9 located within the connector, in which the ferrule can tilt and/or move laterally in any direction relative to the nominal axial direction. Alternatively, the ferrule support 9 tilts relative to an insert (10, figure 11), The connector is able to accommodate misalignment of a hating connector (see figure 9), due to, for example, manufacturing tolerances. |
