Connector for optical fibers, comprising two plug pins mounted one at the end of each of the fibers to be connected, a female reconstitution coupling (1) for supporting and aligning the two plug pins face to face; each of the plug pins being held in a plug body affixed to the cable containing the optical fiber to be connected, each of the plug bodies and the coupling containing snap-in connection means (29, 16); an operating slider (3) is mounted around each of the plug bodies. The female reconstitution coupling (1) has an axial tubular piece (10) whose outer surface (15) constitutes a surface for the mechanical guidance of the plug body, and of which at least a part of the interior surface serves as a means for the mechanical guidance of the plug pin in the coupling (1).

Quick-action connector for optical fibers

A ferrule of a connector for single-mode optical fibers with polarization maintenance is provided and comprises a tubular outer body which has at its front end a wall that is conical in profile, an inner cylindrical elements inside which an optical fiber can be immobilized, particularly by gluing, said inner element protruding from said end of the outer body, said outer body comprising radial holes for the insertion of devices such as piercers for mechanically centering the inner element in the outer body. The connector includes a socket (18) attached in rotation around said body (1) and means (2) for immobilizing said socket, preferably by gluing, on said body, said socket being, moreover, equipped with an indexing reference (19).
