Abstract
Optical connecting means for effecting disconnectable optical connections between multiplicities of optical fibres comprises a two-part mechanical connector and a plurality of two-part optical fibre connectors mounted in the body parts, of the mechanical connector. One body part of each optical fibre connector is slidably mounted in and with respect to the body part of the mechanical connector with their axes parallel to one another and is urged by a spring housed in the body part in a rectilinear direction towards the mating end of the body part. One body part of each optical fibre connector is fixedly secured in and with respect to the body part of the mechanical connector with their axes parallel to one another. Preferably, the body parts of the optical fibre connectors in each body part of the mechanical connector 1 are mounted one above another.
