Abstract

Connecteur de fibres optiques ne comportant pas de fluide d'accouplement. Le connecteur comprend deux douilles 18 recevant à une extrémité un manchon de passage de câble 16 et pourvues à l'autre extrémité d'un manchon de perçage 38 destiné à être introduit dans un manchon d'accouplement symétrique 20. Les manchons de passage de câble 16 sont solidaires chacun de deux pinces de maintien de câble 30 et le manchon d'accouplement 20 est pourvu d'un dispositif de centrage 22 assurant la mise en contact bout-à-bout des extrémités des fibres optiques 12.Fiber optic connector without mating fluid. The connector comprises two sockets 18 receiving at one end a cable passage sleeve 16 and provided at the other end with a piercing sleeve 38 intended to be inserted into a symmetrical coupling sleeve 20. The cable passage sleeves 16 are each secured to two cable holding clamps 30 and the coupling sleeve 20 is provided with a centering device 22 ensuring the end-to-end contacting of the ends of the optical fibers 12.
