Abstract:
The invention concerns a plug-type connector for the end of a fibre-optic cable (1) comprising at least one optical fibre (3) surrounded by a sheath (2), a strand-type strain-relief element (4) and cable sheathing (5), the connector having a pin (10) and a pin-holder (12) which are mounted in a casing (18) so that they can move longitudinally. The casing (18) has an aperture (25) in which the end (32) of the strain-relief element (4) can be fixed by adhesive bonding and/or by sealing without affecting the mobility of the optical-fibre sheath (2).
Abstract:
Coupling end-pieces (20, 21) with axial bores (22, 23) are mounted in a separate front part (25). A cable end (3) with two optical fibres (8, 9) is fixed in a main part (1). The ends (10, 11) of the fibres project over the front part and extend parallel to each other in the axial direction at a distance (29) from the axial bores (22, 23). The front part (25) can slide perpendicularly to the ends (10, 11) of the fibres in order to allow alignment of the axial bores (22, 23) with the ends (10, 11) of the fibres.
Abstract:
A contracted heat shrinkable sleeve (22, 122) contains a curable sealing compound (47, 160). The ends of strain relief means (10; 32, 33) of individual optical fibre cables (1) with stripped ends are embedded in the sealing compound (47, 160).
