Connector (1) provided with an optical fibre (3) in an axial through-bore (2). The bore (2) has an enlargement (4) in the end of the connector. A solid rod (6) of a non-elastical ductile material is inserted in the recess. An axial force from outside the connector is applied to the rod, thereby expanding the rod radially to fixed position in the recess. A hole (6) is made in the rod with an accurate concentricity relative to the circumference of the connector. The optical fibre is inserted into the hole in the rod. Finally, an axial force from outside the connector is applied to the rod for radial expansion thereof resulting in a reduction of the hole in the rod and thereby obtaining an accurate concentric fastening of the optical fibre. |
