Abstract: The invention relates to a fibre-to-fibre connector including a component for joining it to an optical fibre cable. A flat connector with two parallel layers of fibres (18) is easily connected to a round multi-fibre optical cable (12) due to the fact that it includes a separable joining component (R) provided with guide means (G5,G6) for guiding with respect to the rest of the connector (C), said component including a distributor (100,101,102) which forms two distributor channels which progressively bring the set of fibres (18) which leave the cable up to the disposition in two layers. Application to telecommunications.

Abstract: Fibre-retaining grooves are formed in-between a set of fibre locating pins (M) laid side by side. The pins and a base plane (4) on which they are laid are made of hard, rigid material. Guidance for connection and disconnection is provided by guide pins (G1 to G4) of larger diameter which are therefore robust enough to stand up to handling. The guide pins are in direct contact with the locating pins in order to ensure positional accuracy.
