  • Patent number: 6604865
    Abstract: For optical waveguide connections that can be freely laid for transmitting optical signals, there is proposed, in accordance with the dimensions specified by the MOST Co-operation of the automobile manufacturers, a releasably formed optical plug-in connector for an modular connector system that comprises two casing parts that can be inserted in one another. In this connection, there is inserted in a casing a mounting part that receives optical waveguides provided with ferrules, wherein the ferrules of the optical waveguides are provided with a reference surface. A defined distance for an optimized signal transmission from the end face of the optical waveguides reaches by a stop of said reference surface when assembled with a reference surface of a counterplug.
