Abstract: An arrangement for alignedly coupling two coated light-conductive fibers includes three clamping rods which are supported in a support sleeve by a deflectable element and two actuating elements are introduced into the sleeve from two opposite ends thereof and inwardly deflect the deflectable element to press the clamping rods into a clamping engagement with the stripped portions of light-conductive fibers located therebetween. Each of the actuating elements has a longitudinal channel therein through which the respective light-conductive fibers to be coupled pass, each channel including three sections one of which receives the coated cable, another one of which accepts the stripped end portion of the cable, and a next one of which accommodates ends of the clamping rods. Because of its configuration, the channel pre-aligns the fiber with a passage defined by the clamping rods during the introduction of the fiber into the arrangement.
