Abstract:
1. An optical fiber plug-in connection, comprising: at least one pair of plug-in connectors and a coupling, each plug-in connector having a ferrule and the two ferrules of the plug-in connectors being detachably guided and aligned with respect to each other within a guiding sleeve, and the coupling respectively having a receptacle for each plug-in connector wherein the coupling comprises a single component; wherein each receptacle defines a guiding groove extending from a first end to a second end, the first end being wider than the second end; wherein each plug-in connector has a compression spring and an arresting part with a T-shaped attachment; wherein the T-shaped attachment of each arresting part is configured to be inserted into the first end of the guiding groove and biased by the compression spring in an axial direction to the second end of the guiding groove; wherein the plug-in connectors of each pair are respectively guided in an axially displaceable manner in relation to each other, wherein the ferrules abut resiliently against each other with their ferrule end faces within the guiding sleeve on account of the compression springs and establish the connection between two plug-in connectors.
