Abstract: The invention relates to a hermaphrodite optical connector having two identical connector elements, each connector element comprising a housing (14) provided with a connection face (12) having optical conductor terminations (18) which occupy positions in the connection face that are symmetrical about a hermaphrodite axis contained in the connection face, and means for mechanical connection and positioning of the two connector elements, which means comprise n holes (24, 26, 28) formed in the connection face and n studs (20, 22, 30) projecting therefrom, a hole of one connector element being suitable for receiving the associated stud of the other connector element, and n being greater than one. Each connection hole (24, 26, 28) of a connector element is symmetrical with a connection stud (20, 22, 30) of the same connector element about the hermaphrodite axis (X-X′).

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for accurately positioning the ends of optical fibers in a bundle. The comprises an elongate one-piece solid body in which a slot is formed that passes right through the body in a length direction, the section of said slot in planes perpendicular to the length direction being a closed curve having a first side and a second side that extend substantially parallel to each other, at least one of said sides being of undulating shape, being constituted by alternating peaks and troughs, the space defined by a trough and the facing portion of the other side being suitable for receiving an optical fiber with little clearance, the spaces corresponding to peaks being unsuitable for receiving respective fibers.
