Abstract

The invention concerns a connector for optical fibre telecommunication system. The fibres of each of the cables to be connected are held in channels formed between cylindrical holding rods clamped together, one of the sets of holding rods being surrounded by guide rods which extend towards the other set of holding rods so as to ensure the guiding of the latter at the time when the connection is made.
