An optical connector with two complementary connector halves is specified. Each connector half (1, 2) has a sleeve (11, 21) in which at least one optical fibre is mounted. The sleeve (11, 21) is surrounded by an inner housing (12, 22) and the latter is surrounded by an outer housing (13, 23). In at least one connector half (1, 2), the sleeve (11, 21) is arranged capable of axial movement in the inner housing (12, 22) under a spring force. The inner housing (12, 22) is freely movable in the outer housing (13, 23) between two stops (14, 15 and 24, 25, respectively). The inner housing (12, 22) in each case bears latching means (16, 17 and 26, 27, respectively) for latching on the inner housing (12, 22) of a complementary connector half (1, 2). The outer housing (13, 23) is designed in such a way that it can be moved over the inner housing (12, 22) both in the plugged and in the non-plugged state. The outer housing (13, 23) bears releasing means for opening the latching means (26, 16) of the associated inner housing (12, 22). Outer housing and inner housing can be designed in each case hermaphroditically. It is therefore possible to connect the two connector halves to one another without a coupling sleeve. However, the use of a coupling sleeve is also possible.
