Abstract
A detachable connector, for coupling the ends of optical fibers, comprising two connector portions, each connector portion having fixing means, for detachably connecting the connector portions to each other, and at least one rotationally symmetrical housing having a bore which is coaxial to a central axis. The housing has a reference face at one end and adjusting means secured in the bore at an opposite end. The adjusting means enables an optical axis, of an end of an optical fiber to be secured in a tube, and to be adjusted parallel to the central axis of the housing. When the two interconnected connector portions contact each other by way of the reference faces, the optical axes of the fibers in each connector portion are parallel to one another.
