Abstract
The present invention relates to an end structure for a bundle of optical fibres arranged in a hexagon which comprises more particularly a cylindrical alignment member having one end which is adjacent to the end to be connected and comprises three regular points adapted to be fitted in three similar points of an identical end structure. This alignment member is previously angularly oriented relative to the bundle of fibres arranged in a hexagon so that its points have a given position relative to the hexagon formed by the fibres.
