Abstract:
1. A strain relief device for glass fiber cable having a cable jacket and at least one glass fiber and fibers arranged between the at least one glass fiber and the cable jacket, in which the cable jacket is cut back at an end piece of the glass fiber cable in order to provide strain relief at a distance from a termination or connection of the at least one glass fiber from which the cable jacket has been removed, said strain relief device comprising: a main body with a clamping body; and a securing body with a further clamping body, wherein the main body and the securing body can be connected to one another so that at least some of the fibers, which are exposed when the cable jacket is cut back from the at least one glass fiber, are secured adjacent to an exit from the cable jacket between the clamping body and the further clamping body by a clamp; wherein the main body comprises, as latching elements, at least one latching surface which is formed on an inside of a housing wall of the main body and has a plurality of teeth, and the securing body comprises, as further latching elements, at least one further latching surface which is attached on an elastic element and is embodied so as to be complementary to the latching surface and has a plurality of teeth, the elastic element penetrating the main body during a multistage latching process, and said elastic element causing the teeth of the latching surface and of the further latching surface to engage with one another; and wherein guide elements are provided which prevent the main body from rotating with respect to the securing body during the latching process and in a latched state.
