<p>An optical connector is provided which requires less accurate machining during manufacture, can reduce the number and/or complexity of component parts required and can achieve a standard industrial product which nevertheless maintains very stable connections. In a receptacle (2) for the optical connector, an alignment sleeve (13) aligns and optically connects an optical fibre unit (18) to another optical fibre unit or to an input/output window of other optical elements in a housing (16). The housing (3) of the receptacle (2) holds the sleeve (13) in an alignment and is comprised of a plurality of housing halves (3a and 3b, 31 and 31b) joined along a major plane extending through the axis of the sleeve (13). The housing halves may include mating surfaces, projections or indents offset from said major plane.</p> |
