Abstract

L'invention concerne les fibres optiques. Un connecteur pour fibre optique comprend essentiellement une partie principale coudée 14 qui définit une chambre d'atténuation des contraintes, 15, et une partie avant 16 dans laquelle est logée une virole 17 qui est sertie sur l'extrémité de la fibre. La fibre peut se déformer de façon élastique dans la chambre 15, ce qui évite que les contraintes appliquées à la fibre à l'extérieur du connecteur ne soient transmises à la partie de la fibre qui est sertie dans la virole. Application aux transmissions optiques.The invention relates to optical fibers. A fiber optic connector essentially comprises an angled main portion 14 which defines a strain relief chamber, 15, and a front portion 16 in which is housed a ferrule 17 which is crimped onto the end of the fiber. The fiber can elastically deform in chamber 15, which prevents stresses applied to the fiber outside the connector from being transmitted to the portion of the fiber which is crimped into the ferrule. Application to optical transmissions.
