Abstract
An improved optical connector for connection between two pairs of optical connectors is proposed. It consists of a female housing and a male housing. One of the housings is adapted to hold plugs carrying the optical fibers with some clearance left with respect to the inner wall to allow lateral displacement of the plugs for self-alignment between the optical fibers connected.
