ABSTRACT:
A fastening device, which serves for fastening and strain relief of two monomode fibers, comprises two retainer components acting independently of one another. The device includes a cuboid base member of a plastic material that has two separate bores proceeding in a longitudinal direction from one end face to the other end face. Each of said bores has a transverse slot for at least a portion of the length of the bore extending to a side wall, which transverse slot is closable by a clamp arrangement including a clamp rail to form a frictional lock on any fiber disposed in the bore and the fastening device includes a retainer plate insertable in a retainer slot extending parallel to one of the end faces to form a positive lock on a fiber disposed in the bore.
