A connector for optical fibres including two male ferrules mounted at the end of each of the fibres which are to be connected and a female reconstituting connector having a longitudinal bore for supporting and aligning the two ferrules face to face. The female connector has in the central portion of it inside its longitudinal bore an abutment body for the male connectors, which exhibits an axial orifice passing through it and round the latter a bearing surface opposite each of the male ferrules, each of the male ferrules exhibiting a tubular axial protuberance capable of engaging in the orifice in the said body and a passage into which the optical fibre may be introduce with clearance and sealed in such a way that the end of it coincides with the end of the said protuberance, each of the ferrules including in addition, set back from the said protuberance and surrounding the rear portion of it, an annular recess the wall of which defines a bearing surface for contact with the opposing bearing surface on the body of the female connector. |
