Abstract
A device for connecting optical fibres comprises two identical units fitted to the respective ends to be joined. Each unit has an alinement structure in which the end portion of the fibre is held resiliently by a bend in the fibre leading to the clamp. The units are mated with their alinement structures alined and face to face with their respective fibre end portions meeting end to end substantially half way along the alinement structures.
