Abstract: A connection system including a connector and a receptacle through each of which an optical fiber is passed, wherein the connector includes a ferrule and also a cylindrical shoulder with a larger diameter than the ferrule on the side of the ferrule facing the fiber and the receptacle has a stepped bore for receiving the ferrule and the cylindrical shoulder, wherein the dimensions of the ferrule, of the cylindrical shoulder and of the stepped bore correspond to a standard FSMA connector or receptacle, wherein the connector has at least one groove and the receptacle at least one tongue corresponding thereto, wherein the tongue projects into the groove when the connector and receptacle are plugged together and wherein the groove is defined on the cylindrical shoulder and the tongue is defined on the bore.

Abstract: The invention relates to a connector for creating an optical waveguide connector-in connection for an optical waveguide cable containing an optical waveguide, said connector comprising a housing, a ferrule holder arranged in the housing, and a locking device arranged outside the housing, on a narrow side thereof. The inventive connector has a housing that has the outer shape of an RJ-45 connector, is open on the front side and the rear side thereof, and has an inner region surrounded by the narrow sides extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of the connector-in connection, and a catch spring used as a locking device for engaging in a coupling, the catch spring being elastically connected to the housing. Ferrule holders for each of the optical waveguides guided into the inner region through the rear side of the housing are arranged in the inner region, each ferrule holder being respectively provided with a recess for a coupling ferrule on the side thereof facing the front side of the housing.

Abstract: The aim of the invention is to improve a projector lens, comprising an optical element for shaping radiation fields emitted from light guides, such that the light guide may be optimally coupled to the optical element. Said aim is achieved, whereby the optical element is embodied in a monolithic body, comprising a radiation field forming region and a connector region for the light guide, which form part of the optical element and the connector region comprises a connector surface for a front face of the light guide which approximately matches a diameter of the light guide and is arranged offset from a vicinity of the connector region.
