ABSTRACT:
In a disconnectable optical fibre butt connector, each of two fibres 1, 2 to be butted, is supported near an end by a bush 3 carried by a flanged carrier disc 4 in a seating of a flanged cap 8. An alignment unit comprises three alignment rods 12 located in a distortable elastic sleeve 13 which is enclosed in a rigid tube 15. To assemble the connector, the fibre ends 1, 2 are inserted between the alignment rods 12 from opposite extremities, and are pushed home till they butt each other. The caps 8 are then screwed onto opposite extremities of the tube 15, forcing the flanges 5 of the carrier discs 4 against the sleeve 13, which distorts, clamping the fibre ends 1,2 in alignment between the alignment rods 12. The alignment unit may form part of a pressure-tight bulkhead.
