Abstract
The invention concerns an optical fibre connector ( ) for high pressure (P) environments. Said connector comprises means for maintaining ( ) the respective ends of the fibres, facing one another. The invention is characterised in that it further comprises a sleeve ( ) enclosing the fibre ends, and a translucent gel ( ), provided in the sleeve to soak the space ( ) separating the fibre ends ( ). Moreover, by maintaining itself by capillary action in said space ( ) the gel seals off the connection with environment. The ambient pressure (P) then acts on one free end of the sleeve ( ) while maintaining the gel ( ) in the sleeve.
