ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a male contact for an optical fiber (1), that comprises an outer body (2) of an elastically deformable material, a cylindrical guide (6) having a front portion (5) attached in the rear portion (4) of the outer body (2) and a rear portion (7) protruding from the rear portion (4) of the outer body (2). A cable adapter (65) extends through the cylindrical guide (6). An elongated floating ferrule (18) extends through the front portion (3) of the outer body (2). The ferrule (18) is connected to a ferrule holder (13) movably mounted in said outer body (2). It comprises abutment means (19) bearing on the first shoulders (11) of the outer body (2), and a helical spring (21) provided between the front portion (5) of the cylindrical guide (6) and the abutment means (19) of the ferrule holder (13). The cable adapter (65) is mounted so as to float within the cylindrical guide (6).
