<p>An optical fibre connector device (1), comprising a first length of optical fibre (4) and two optical fibre connector units (3), each optical fibre connector unit comprising a groove (5) and two anchoring means, the two anchoring means (6, 8) each securing an end (7, 11) of a length of optical fibre (4, 9) so that the optical fibres are arranged so as to couple optical radiation thereinbetween. The optical fibres are compressed within the grooves in order to decrease the fibre-to-fibre coupling loss. Two optical fibres can be connected using such a unit in which the compression causes one of the fibres to be deformed. The optical fibre connector device can be used to restore communications services carried by an optical fibre transmission link following the severing of the link.</p> |
