Abstract
In order to make an optical connector (,), particularly the female part (,) thereof, easier to clean, it is provided that, upon disconnection, ferrules (,) embedded in the female cavities (,) of the complementary connector are drawn flush (,) with the complementary connector by sliding the sleeve (,) which forms it. It is shown how, by this arrangement, optical connectors may be cleaned more frequently and easily. The connector is improved by providing a clip (,) which accommodates a pusher at the end of its pushing stroke.
