Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2021005041A1] A fibre optic cable connector comprising a connector body (1) with an axial through bore (8) having a connector (2) at either end for the connection of a respective tube. An annular flange (20) extends radially into the through bore, each end face of the annular flange providing a stop surface for a respective tube end. The annular flange is undercut (21) such that it is inclined so that the axial dimension of the flange increases towards the axis. A plurality of axial splines (30) on the wall of the through bore in the vicinity of the annular flange deflect the outer wall of the tube as it approaches the flange.
