According to the present invention, there is provided a connector for attachment to the end of an optical fibre; the connector comprising a rear body and a resilient biasing member; wherein the rear body comprises a longitudinal slot configured to allow a cable to be inserted; wherein the rear body comprises a transverse slot configured to receive the resilient biasing member, wherein the resilient biasing member has a shape configured to allow a cable to be inserted the longitudinal slot. A kit of parts comprising the connector is also described.
The invention relates to a fibre optic connector (e.g. an SC-type connector) for attachment to the end of an optical fibre. The connector has a rear body (200) provided with a longitudinal slot which receives the optical fibre (400) (see Fig. 3). The rear body (200) supports the resilient insert (300) within a transverse slot (202) so as to partially surround the optical fibre (400) and apply a forward biasing force to a rear end of a ferrule sub-assembly in which the optical fibre (400) is terminated. The resilient insert 300 has an opening (e.g. it may be U-shaped), or it is openable, to thus allow it to engage the ferrule sub-assembly at locations spaced around an optical axis without having been threaded over the optical fibre (400) or the ferrule sub-assembly. Advantageously, this type of resilient insert (300) avoids the need to thread a conventional spring over the connector rear body (200), thus facilitating a reduction in the length and/or diameter of the connector and simplifying its final assembly in the field.

The position detector of an object includes a body defining an input receiving an optical fibre delivering a light signal, and an output delivering a signal representative of the position of the object. A mirror is mounted to move between first and second positions in the body with respect to the input. The first position or the second position ensures transmission of the light signal from the input to the output. The other of the first position and the second position prevents transmission of the light signal to the output. A spring is mounted in the body in order to place the mirror in the first position. A tip is movable relative to the body between a first position and a second position along a direction of movement and is intended to cooperate with the object to be monitored.
