Abstract
A connector for cables used for optical fiber transmission, comprising a male half-connector having a rear gripping element including a first nut for securing the armour of a first cable and each fiber thereof and an assembly comprising at least one elastomeric pad-metal piston unit, a front half-connector comprising a second nut, and a further assembly including another piston unit. A female half-connector, built in an analogous manner to the male one, is adapted to engage with the male connector and a second cable, so as to guide the fibers in coaxial direction and alignment with those of the first cable.
