  • Patent number: 10845547
    Abstract: An optical plug connector (1) having a base body (2) extending in a longitudinal direction (x) with a front end (24) having a first opening to receive a ferrule (7) protruding above the front end (24) of the base body (2) and a rear end (25) having a second opening to receive an optical cable. An articulated locking arm (4) is formed on the front end (24) of the base body (2) and protrudes obliquely toward the rear. A cap (10) is arranged at the base body (2) in front of the articulated locking arm (4) and pivotable about a hinge axis (20) of a hinge (19) to protect the ferrule (7) in a closed position and release the ferrule (7) in an open position. The cap (10) is arranged above the ferrule (7) and in front of the locking arm (4) in a transversal direction (y).

  • Patent number: 9341804
    Abstract: The invention relates to a means of cable strain relief (1) comprising a crimping sleeve (3) for the mechanical operative connection of a cable (5) to a crimping neck (2), wherein the crimping sleeve (3) is used in the crimped state for clamping a textile braid (7) of the cable (5) intended for stain relief between the crimping sleeve (3) and the crimping neck (2). At its cable-side end, the crimping sleeve (3) comprises a deformable plastic sleeve (4) that produces a mechanical operative connection in the crimped state between an exterior jacket (6) of the cable (5) and the crimping sleeve (3).
