Patent number: 7025508Abstract: The invention provides an optical short-circuit insert for accommodation in a plug housing, with a plug region with two mutually parallel optical fiber ends of an optical fiber portion. A curved region of the optical fiber portion, intermediate optical fiber ends, is guided in an arc of 180 degrees. The optical fiber portion has a curved portion of a fiber consisting of multi-component glass with cladding or of a multi-conductor glass fiber with cladding, which is enveloped in a plastic carrier. An optical short-circuit plug with a plug housing enveloping a plug and a short-circuit insert capable of being pushed into it is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2003Date of Patent: April 11, 2006Assignees: Tyco Electronics AMP GmbH, Schott AGInventors: Pia Kopf, Joachim Hahn, Rudolf Kunstmann, Miquel Seidenfaden
