ABSTRACT:
A connector for an optical fibre comprises a body which receives a male connector having a conduit termination and a lens-fibre cell. A rotatable sleeve on the body serves via a slipper to move a first floating ball radially inward to clamp the lens-fibre cell against a V-bar or other support and, simultaneously, to move a plurality of angularly spaced floating balls to axially clamp the conduit termination. A ratchet is provided to avoid disconnection other than in a controlled manner by release of a locking collar.
