ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to an optical fiber connector comprising a ferrule disposed in a connector body and receiving the optical fiber in a longitudinal bore, said ferrule being subjected to a compression spring disposed on a part extending the ferrule, referred to as a “counter-ferrule”, and pressed by a closure part secured to said connector body. According to the invention, the ferrule and the counter-ferrule are constituted by two separate parts, and an optical fiber holder element is inserted between these two separate parts, said holder element being capable of being caused to hold the optical fiber from outside the connector, and said holder element is also capable of being released from outside the connector.
