ABSTRACT:
A fibre optic connector for use under water is described. Each of the two connector parts (1a, 1b) in the device contains a greasy or visco-elastic filling compound (4) which protects the ferrules (2a, 2b) and the centering unit (5), and which is displaced during mating so that light is allowed to pass. When the connector is disconnected, the filling compound (4) is drawn back across the ferrules and centering unit to provide protection again. The compound (4) is chosen so that it can remain exposed to seawater without changing its characteristics or be dissolved or washed away.
