Abstract
The present invention relates to a plug which makes it possible with the help of an interconnecting device to position and connect in pairs optical fibres pertaining to optical cables. The positioning of each optical fibre is achieved by a three-elements set of cylindrical rods 21 arranged in the bushing of the plug. Each rod of the three-elements set has two generatrices in contact with its two neighbors, and one generatrix in contact with the introduced optical fibre. A hardenable bonding medium is introduced for cementing together said bushing, said rods and said optical fibre.
