A mechanical device for connecting optical fibres together by single or multiple connections with little attenuation loss. The connector has a body in the form of a cylinder, end pieces which support three cylindrical rods enclosing the fibre and disposed in guiding V-grooves, covers associated with the end pieces by spring washers which enable the cover to be longitudinally snap-fitted onto the body and a deformable blade which presses transversally against the rods.

Mechanical device for connecting optical fibres

Connector for simultaneous end-to-end connection of groups of seven optical fibres. The ends of the groups of fibres to be connected are brought into mutual radial contact in a centered hexagonal configuration, e.g. by a guide structure (8) and associated clamping device (9), and their end faces of two groups are then brought into contact with each other. Particularly intended for on site connections of optical cables.
