A connector for interconnecting optical fiber cables or an optical fiber with an optical component, the cable or cables having an optical fiber encircled by a tension resistant member comprising a yarn. The connector has a hollow cylindrical body which slidably receives a lens mount with a lens thereon, the optical fiber is secured to the lens mount and the tension resistant member is secured to the body so that the cable can be pulled without applying damaging stress to the optical fiber. The lens mount is spring biassed into its normal position in which is couples optical signals to another cable or to an optical component. |
