Quick fit connector for optical fibers

A combination of a connector for quick connection of an optical fiber and of a tool for cutting said optical fiber, wherein said connector comprises:

• a first and a second tubular body through which an optical fiber passes and which are axially aligned and joined together by means of a nut partially enveloping said second tubular body and screwed about said first tubular body,
• means for fixing and centering said optical fiber by clamping, comprising a rigid sleeve and a deformable sleeve, both fitted onto said optical fiber and intended to be housed end to end inside said second tubular body, said second tubular body comprising:
• a rear portion of small diameter closed at a proximal end thereof by a bottom pierced centrally for passing said optical fiber therethrough and having end to end said rigid and deformable sleeves, said sleeves having each a length such that the sum of the lengths thereof is greater than a length of said rear portion, and said bottom having an outer face which is slightly recessed with respect to said proximal end of said rear portion, so as to protect a proximal end of said optical fiber, and
• a front portion of larger diameter intended to be screwed about said proximal end of said first tubular body, so that said rigid sleeve compresses said deformable sleeve against said bottom of said rear portion, thus clamping said optical fiber while fixing and centering the same, and wherein said tool for cutting said proximal end of said optical fiber comprises a cutting element cooperating with said outer recessed face of said rear portion, so as to cut by cleavage said optical fiber.
