Abstract
A plug mounted on an optical cable with one or more optical contacts each one having a tab which is deformable elastically or mounted so as to pivot relative to the rest of the contact, including: a body including a front part and a rear part; a bushing fitted around the front part with axial sliding forward, the bushing bearing a tab with an appendage extending inside the rear part, the tab of the bushing and the tab of each contact being disposed relative to each other so that when a traction force is applied to make the bushing slide around the front part, the appendage is able to bear against the tab of each contact so as to deform it elastically or make it pivot until the disconnection is produced between the contact and the converter.
