Abstract: A connector part (1) for an optical plug-in connection comprises a pin holder (2) and at least two pin sleeves (3, 3?) accommodated in the pin holder, wherein a connector pin (4, 4?) having an optical waveguide is fixed in each of said pin sleeves. The connector part also comprises a connector housing (8), which is connected to the pin holder and completely or partially surrounds the connector pins and which has latching means (9) for creating a latching connection to a mating connector part. An unlocking carriage (11) displaceably mounted on the connector housing is provided to release the latching connection to the mating connector part. The pin holder consists of two half shells (12, 12?) which can be or are latched to one another and the connector housing also can be or is latched to the pin holder. A connector part of this kind can be installed fitted and removed without tools even in difficult field conditions, resulting in a significant time saving for optical plug-in connections.

Abstract: A device (1) for cleaning an optical waveguide end (2) comprises a guide portion (3) for receiving the optical waveguide end (2) in a stable position and a rotatably mounted spool (4) onto which a flexible cleaning element (5) is wound. The guide portion (3) and the spool (4) are positioned relative to one another such that an optical waveguide end (2) received by the guide portion (3) is able to be pressed against the wound cleaning element (5). The cleaning element (5) is able to be unwound from the spool (4) such that different portions of the cleaning element (5) are able to be applied to the optical waveguide end (2) during unwinding.

Abstract: A plug part for a plug-in connection, in particular of optical conductors, includes a plug housing, in which a plug insert having at least one plug pin for receiving a conductor is arranged. The plug part can be inserted into a correspondingly designed socket part in an insertion direction (A), and includes a locking means for releasably locking the plug part in the socket part. The plug part further has an unlocking means, by means of which the locking of the locking means to the socket part can be released. The plug part includes a protective apparatus for protecting the end face of the plug pin and for moving from a closed position with a covered end face to an open position with an exposed end face by inserting the plug part into the socket part by interacting with the socket part.
