Abstract: Coupling end-pieces (20, 21) with axial bores (22, 23) are mounted in a separate front part (25). A cable end (3) with two optical fibers (8,9) is fixed in a main part (1). The ends (10, 11) of the fibers project at the front part side and extend in axially parallel fashion at a distance (29) from the axial bores (22, 23). The front part (25) can slide perpendicularly to the ends (10, 11) of the fibers in order to allow alignment of the axial bores (22, 23) with the ends (10, 11) of the fibers.

Abstract: A plug-type connector is provided for one end of a fiber-optic cable, which cable includes at least one optical fiber surrounded by a fiber sheath, a strand-type strain-relief element and a cable sheath. The plug-type connector includes a ferrule with a central longitudinal bore for receiving an unsheathed end of the optical fiber, a ferrule-holder for receiving a rear region of the ferrule, and a casing in which the ferrule-holder is mounted. The ferrule holder is axially movable in the casing against a restoring force. The ferrule-holder and the casing each include central openings through which the optical fiber and the fiber sheath are movable into the cable sheath. The casing includes a receiving space into which an end of the strain-relief element can be introduced and immobilized by adhesive bonding and/or sealing. The receiving space is separated in a liquid-tight manner from the central opening in the casing.
