A connector device for coupling non-aligned optical fibres ( 19, 20 ), in which light is directed from one fibre to another by a reflector ( 12 ) and lenses ( 13, 14 ) and the positional relationship between the ends of the optical fibres and the reflector is determined by means ( 31, 32, 33 ) for locating the end of each optical fibre to be coupled in a predetermined position both parallel to and transverse the length of the fibre. Also covers a connector device for optically coupling an optical fibre ( 101 , FIG. 14 ) to deliver light to or receive light from another optical component ( 102 ) by way of a lens ( 110 ), in which the positional relationship between the end of the optical fibre and the said other optical component is determined by means ( 106 ) for locating the end of the said optical fibre in a predetermined position both parallel to and transverse the length of the fibre with respect to the said optical component.
