ABSTRACT:
A connector for connecting one end of an opto fibre to an optical component includes a retaining sleeve for a portion of the fibre near said end of the optical fibre, and a structure carrying the retaining sleeve and intended to be fixed with respect to the optical component. A spring acts between the retaining sleeve and the carrying structure for compensating for tolerances in the length direction of the retaining sleeve at connection to the optical component. The spring and the carrying structure are mutually shaped to admit introduction of the retaining sleeve together with the fibre held thereby, into the carrying structure prior to the spring sidewardly into the carrying structure.
