The present invention provides an optical fiber connection device comprising a part () of a screw-threadless multi-part () optical fiber cable connector (), the multi-parts () of the connector () being inter-connectable, the part () comprising a body (), the body () comprising: an optical fiber cable connection end () for connection with an optical fiber cable (); a part connection end () for connection with another part () of the multi-part optical fiber cable connector (); and one or more formations () adapted to co-operate with a retainer () in a mounting () for the connector (), the mounting () used to retain the optical fiber cable () and the connector () when the optical fiber cable () is connected to the optical fiber cable connection end () of the body (), the formations () adapted to co-operate with the mounting retainer () to resist rotational and/or axial movement of the connector () when the connector () is assembled with an optical fiber cable () and the other parts () of the connector () and mounted in the mounting ().

Optical fibre connection device

A kit for forming an optical fiber assembly includes a plurality of panels to be stacked together including a base panel and at least one further panel. Each panel includes a body with an opening therein, and an edge extending upwards from the body. A plurality of connector-retainers are carried by the body and extend beyond the edge for securing optical fiber connectors therein. The kit further includes a stacking member arranged for stacking the plurality of panels together so that the plurality of connector-retainers in a respective panel project into the opening in an adjacent panel while allowing the adjacent panel to rest on the edge of the respective panel.
