Abstract
An optical connector comprising a housing and a channel in this housing to receive an optical cable therein is preferably mounted in an optical contact having several parts, including a front part constituted by a connection ferrule and a sleeve used to prevent the rotation of the optical fiber inside the channel. The retention of the optical contact inside the channel is provided by a catch which has, for example, a bayonet mounted around the optical fiber that co-operates with a recess of an inner wall of the channel. A spring is positioned around the optical fiber to hold the bayonet in a return of the recess.
