<p>9213 An optical fibre (116) is received in an interstitial space between two converging alignment surfaces (46, 24) of a connector body (16). An extension (42) of the first surface (46) projects beyond the second surface (24) so that, on mating with a similar connector body (16), each extension (42) retains an optical fibre (116) in the space of the other body (16) pressing the optical fibre (116) against the first and second alignment surfaces (46, 24) of the other body (16) precisely to align the fibre axes. A clamping member (18) may be movably mounted on the body (16) to clamp optical fibres (116) of different diameters and may have a resilient arm (70) engageable with the other body (16) to retain the extensions (42) against the fibres (116).</p> |
