The present invention relates to optical fiber connectors, for bringing optical fibers into contact with each other. In order to simplify manufacture and handling of the optical fiber connectors, for optical fiber cables for example, an optical fiber connector containing precision components has been developed which can be manufactured in large volumes, using inexpensive injection-moulded parts of low weight, low physical size and which can therefore have a low price per connector. Each connector consists of an outer cylindrical portion (1, 2) joined to a tapered portion (3, 4) constituting a breakage protector for a surrounded optical fiber (5, 6), where the cylindrical portion is arranged to be able to surround the optical fiber ferrule (7, 8) with a flange (13, 14), a spring (15, 16) and a protecting sleeve (23).

L'invention concerne des connecteurs de fibres optiques permettant de mettre des fibres en contact les uns avec les autres. Pour simplifier la production et la gestion des connecteurs de fibres optiques destinés, par exemple, à des câbles à fibres optiques, on a développé un connecteur de fibres optiques contenant des composants de précision et pouvant être produit en grandes quantités à partir d+6'éléments moulés par injection de faible poids, compacts et peu coûteux, ce qui permet d'obtenir des connecteurs bon marché. Chaque connecteur consiste en un élément cylindrique externe (1, 2) assemblé à un élément effilé (3, 4) servant de protection contre toute rupture du fibre optique entouré (5, 6). L'élément cylindrique est conçu pour pouvoir entourer la ferrule de fibre optique (7, 8) à l'aide d'une collerette (13, 14), d'un ressort (15, 16) et d'un manchon de protection (23).
