PCT No. PCT/NO84/00030 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 2, 1985 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 2, 1985 PCT Filed Aug. 9, 1984 PCT Pub. No. WO85/00899 PCT Pub. Date Feb. 28, 1985.A fiber optic connector includes two connector parts provided with respective covers, which in the disconnected condition of the connector, protects interfaces in the light path and which, during mating of the connector parts for mutual coupling therebetween, is adapted to be displaced in order that the interfaces be exposed and that a continuous light path is established through the connector. Each cover has a wiper element adapted to clean the corresponding interface when the cover is displaced. Preferably each connector part has a separate fiber holder which suitably is suspended in a movable manner. The location of the light path in the side-wall of the connector provides particularly good protection and cleaning. |
