An optical port including: a base capable of being attached substantially parallel to a planar surface; a spool arranged so as to rotate about a shaft, which is substantially perpendicular to the base; an optical cable rolled up into the spool; and a connector. An inner side of the connector is connected inside the port to a first end, referred to as the “inner end”, of the cable. An outer side of the connector is intended to be connected to an outer optical connection plug. The cable is intended to be unreeled out from the port by pulling one second end, referred to as the “outer end”, of the cable. The pulling rotates the spool on the shaft. The connector is secured to the spool and arranged so as to take at least one position outside the radial configuration of the spool.
