ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to an alveolar connector, comprising male and female connector elements (2,23) having parts provided with aligned sockets suitable for receiving at least one connection device for fiber optics formed of a male contact (1) and a female contact (22) working together, the one fixed in its socket, and the other axially movable in its socket, between a disconnection position and a connection position. A ring (8) surrounding the movable contact (1) is installed and immobilized axially in the socket, the movable contact and the ring comprising conical and/or cylindrical contact areas (15,16,17,12,13) on their opposite surfaces, arranged and disposed in such a manner than in the disconnection position and during a part of the course of displacement of the movable contact during the course of the connection and disconnection phases, at least one contact area (12,13) of the ring essentially rests against a contact area (16,17) of the movable optic contact, and that in the connection position, the contact areas of the ring and the movable contact are radially separated from each other.
