Abstract

Un connecteur servant à connecter une fibre optique (25) à un dispositif optique comprend un élément de fixation (4) et un élément de serrage (5). L'élément de fixation (4) est pourvu d'un alésage traversant (21) comportant une première et une seconde parties terminales (21a, 21b). La première partie terminale (21a) de l'alésage (21) est dotée d'une forme et d'une grosseur telles qu'un ajustement serré est produit entre cette partie et la partie terminale (8) d'un connecteur de fibre normalisé (1). L'élément de serrage (5) peut s'engager avec l'élément de fixation (4) pour comprimer une partie (21d) de l'alésage (21) afin d'agripper la fibre optique (25) qui a été introduite dans l'alésage à travers la seconde partie terminale (21b).
