Abstract:
An apparatus for temporarily fixing light waveguide ends in a defined position parallel one beside the other in one plane in a clamping device, said apparatus comprising a fixing device having means for positioning a plurality of light waveguides in a fixed position side-by-side and parallel, at least one mount, a clamping device inserted into the mount to be brought into a defined position in relation to the light waveguides in the fixed position, the mount and fixing device having stop means, the fixing device and mount having centering means which are assigned to one another and can abut against one another, a plurality of changeable mounts being provided and being inserted alternately into the fixing device with the stop means of the different mounts varying in a stepwise manner in the position transverse to the light waveguides, so that a different number of fixed light waveguide ends can be positioned by the stop means to be adjusted transversely to the light waveguide in the clamping device.
