OPTICAL FIBRE SPLICE CONNECTOR

摘要

An optical fibre connector (1) for forming a mechanical splice between first and second bare optical fibres stripped of coatings, the connector comprising a connector body that comprises at least two main clamping sections (23A, 23C) dimensioned to clamp directly onto the bare fibre of the first and second optical fibres, the main clamping sections arranged such that the first optical fibre may be clamped by a first of the main clamping sections independently of the second optical fibre, enabling the clamping of the first fibre against rotational and axial movement with respect to the connector body to remain substantially undisturbed by subsequent clamping or unclamping of the second fibre.
