The connector further has a second fiber supporting element for supporting the end potion of the at least one optical fiber. The second fiber supporting element is slidably associated with the main body and mobile between a first operational position wherein the end portion of the at least one optical fiber is supported by the second fiber supporting element and a second operational position wherein at least an end part of said end portion projects from said connector.
