Abstract: A method for connecting an optical waveguide embedded in a fiber composite component, in particular of an aircraft and spacecraft, to an external optical waveguide, comprising the following steps: ascertaining a path of the embedded optical waveguide in the fiber composite component; determining a nodal position at which the embedded optical waveguide is to be coupled with the external optical waveguide; exposing, at least in portions, the embedded optical waveguide at the nodal position by removing at least part of the fiber composite component around the embedded optical waveguide; severing the exposed embedded optical waveguide; aligning relative to each other an end portion of the severed, embedded optical waveguide and an end portion of the external optical waveguide; and splicing the mutually aligned end portions of the optical waveguides.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cable connection device for connecting a cable to a housing that is to be electromagnetically shielded, comprising a sheath, which serves to surround the cable in the region of a cable feedthrough opening in the housing and is designed to be electrically conductive at least at its surface. In order to achieve a cable connection device with a simple design which can be used for different cables and has improved shielding, the invention proposes that the sheath completely covers a cable feedthrough opening, which is associated with the housing, when viewed in a direction axial to the cable feedthrough opening, the sheath being provided with shielding structures for damping electromagnetic radiation on an inner surface, which points towards the cable to be accommodated.

Abstract: A screening arrangement is provided for attachment to the rear of a connector having one or more poles for receiving an optical fibre. The screening arrangement comprises a conductive housing and a conductive sleeve for the or each optical fibre. The or each conductive sleeve is electrically connected to the conductive housing and acts as a waveguide attenuator. The conductive housing is closed, for instance by transverse plates, about the conductive sleeve or sleeves so as to form a Faraday cage on the rear of the connector pierced only by the waveguide attenuators.
