A retainer (150) for retaining an optical fibre (13) in a mounting channel (18) extending along an upper surface (24) of a substrate (23) has a lower surface (154) along which a retaining channel (156a) extends in a forward direction from a rear edge (158) of the lower surface. The lower surface (154) is juxtaposed with the substrate upper surface to retain the optical fibre (13) in the mounting channel (18) and to align the respective channels (156a, 18) . The optical fibre (13) is receivable upwardly in the retaining channel (156a) to rest on a contact area (168a) which, at the rear edge, is spaced upward of the lower surface at a first level and extends downwardly from the rear edge towards the lower surface in the forward direction whereby the optical fibre is able to be angled upwardly from the mounting channel through the retaining channel (156a). |
