ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A connector for an optical cable in a composite electric power and optical cable comprises a rodlike storage member having linear grooves and helical grooves in the outer surface thereof. The storage member is aligned between the ends of the optical cables to be connected and connected between the tension members of the optical cables. The optical fibres of each optical cable are connected to the optical fibres of the other optical cables. The optical fibres are arranged on the storage member so that optical fibres having a length longer than necessary for connection are contained in the helical grooves of the storage member and the optical fibres having a length correct for connection are contained in the linear grooves of the storage member. Thus, the connector has an outer diameter equal to that of the optical cable. This overcomes a problem in the prior art where the connectors have larger diameter which causes handling problems in laying of the cable.
