Abstract
The invention relates to a fibre-to-fibre connector including a component for joining it to an optical fibre cable. A flat connector with two parallel layers of fibres (18) is easily connected to a round multi-fibre optical cable (12) due to the fact that it includes a separable joining component (R) provided with guide means (G5,G6) for guiding with respect to the rest of the connector (C), said component including a distributor (100,101,102) which forms two distributor channels which progressively bring the set of fibres (18) which leave the cable up to the disposition in two layers. Application to telecommunications.
