<p>A connector for an optical fiber comprises a ferrule (16) for surrounding the fiber (80), a clamp (18) of resiliently compressible material for surrounding the fiber (80), and a body (20) for connection to the ferrule (16), the body (20) having a tubular portion divided into fingers (66) for gripping a buffer jacket (82) surrounding the fiber (80), characterized in that, a conical portion (52) of the clamp (18) is inserted in the ferrule (16) and is urged by the fingers (66) against an internal surface (32) of the ferrule (16) that deforms the clamp (18) radially to grip the fiber (80), and the fingers (66) are inserted in the ferrule (16) and are urged by the internal surface (28) to compress radially against the buffer jacket (82).</p> |
