Each connector comprises two carriers each of which has in an identical fashion a planar face in which one or more small longitudinal V-shaped grooves are provided to receive the single-strand optical conductors. The ends of the optical conductors are disposed in the plane of the facing ends of the two carriers. The module further comprises two cylindrical alignment members, each of which is received in a large V-shaped groove provided in an identical manner in the planar face of each carrier.
