Abstract
In a connector for fibre optic cables a female element with which a first terminal element of a fibre optic cable is associated and a male element with which there is associated a first sleeve into which a second terminal element is inserted, the female element being of the type which can be associated with a fixed assembly and comprising a base and a flanged sleeve free to position itself relative to the base by moving only in a plane perpendicular to the jointing axis of the connector. Any rotation of the flanged sleeve about the connector jointing axis or about axes parallel thereto is prevented; the male element consists of a hollow body closed by a flanged tubular element and provided with a bored end plate, the male element receiving the first sleeve in such a manner as to prevent its rotation and also receiving elastic means engaged with the end plate and with the first sleeve, the tubular element being lockably insertable into the female element.
