ABSTRACT HERMAPHRODITIC OPTICAL FIBRE OR ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR A hermaphroditic optical fibre (or electrical) connector member including a body 12 with a stepped end surface, and a coupling ring 14 slidable over the body and rotatable about the longitudinal axis 18. The body has a rearward cylindrical portion 26 and a forward semi-cylindrical portion 28. Two diametrically-opposed lugs 40 extend inwardly on the coupling ring and two circumferential grooves 44, 46 are provided on the forward portion 28 of the body 12. In one rotary position of the coupling member it can slide longitudinally rearwardly to allow the transverse end surface portions 20, 22 to be wiped clean. The coupling member is then aligned with an opposed identical coupling member and initial guiding location is provided by a pin 32 and groove 34 on each member. The coupling rings are then slid together and each rotated 90° such that the two lugs 40 on one coupling member engage with the rearward groove 46 on that connector member and with the forward groove 44 on the other connector member. The connector member is relatively simple to make and provides accurate positioning of the fibre terminations 30.
