ABSTRACT:
The device includes a first connector housing (7) in which end portions of a number of optical fibres (1) are secured and a second connector housing (11) in which a corresponding number of optical elements to be connected to the fibres, for example end portions of further optical fibres (3), is secured. After the connection has been established, the two connector housings (7, 11) are detachably coupled by means of a locking device which includes a first locking portion (17) which is provided at the first end (16) of a lever (15) provided on the first connector housing (7) and a second locking portion (18) which cooperates with the first locking portion and which is provided on the second connector housing (11). In order to establish also an electrical connection between pairs of conductors (35, 41), an electrical contact member (27, 37) is provided near each of the two locking portions (17, 19). In the locked condition, these contact members (27, 37) are electrically interconnected; they are separated from one another upon unlocking.
