ABSTRACT:
A connector for use in butt splicing two optical fibres (100) comprises a right-circular cylindrical tubular member (4) of deformable material and a support body (1) formed by three integrally formed elongate members (2) of deformable material joined by two webs (3), the support body (1) being a circular overall cross-section to be received in the tubular member (4) and a central passage (6) to receive end portions of two fibres (100) to be spliced, there being radial spaces (7) between the three members (2) of the support body (1) whereby on crimping of the connector to form the splice little or no axial movement of the fibre ends relative to each other takes place.
