ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a plug and a socket for coupling an optical fiber to another optical fiber or to a light source or detector for optical communication purposes. The plug is provided with a tenon which fits into a recess of the socket. When inserting the tenon into the recess, the fiber is lifted from a groove in the tenon and pushed into a groove in the bottom of the recess by means of an elastic cushion. The tenon is provided with fitting pieces which, in conjunction with chamfers formed in the socket, bring the position of the tenon into alignment with the position of the recess.
