ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a connector for permanent attachment to an optical fiber, as well as to a method for the production of the connector and various types of adapters for mating with the connector. Specifically, the invention relates to a plug-in connector for attachment to an end of a light conducting cable including an optical fiber surrounded by a sheathing. The connector is preferably formed of a plastic material cast around the cable and holding the optical fiber in the center of the connector. The connector is formed as a plug-in connector to be used where the information transmission occurs at a comparatively low tolerance level and is formed from a one-piece, injection moulded plastic part. The connector is injection moulded around the fiber while the fiber is centrally held in an injection-moulding die and projects out from the sheathing. The connector extends over a part of the sheathing which is joined to it by moulding. The invention is also concerned with a coupling into which two of the above-described connectors can be inserted and various adapters which engage with the connector.
