Abstract
Connector for optical fibers, comprising two plug pins mounted one at the end of each of the fibers to be connected, a female reconstitution coupling (1) for supporting and aligning the two plug pins face to face; each of the plug pins being held in a plug body affixed to the cable containing the optical fiber to be connected, each of the plug bodies and the coupling containing snap-in connection means (29, 16); an operating slider (3) is mounted around each of the plug bodies. The female reconstitution coupling (1) has an axial tubular piece (10) whose outer surface (15) constitutes a surface for the mechanical guidance of the plug body, and of which at least a part of the interior surface serves as a means for the mechanical guidance of the plug pin in the coupling (1).
