Patent ID: 10656346

Abstract:
A coupling for forming an optical plug connection between two optical plug connectors, the coupling having a guide sleeve and a sleeve-receiving cage with an interior space for receiving the guide sleeve. The sleeve-receiving cage has plug-in openings arranged opposite one another on a longitudinal axis of the sleeve-receiving cage and which serve for the plugging-in of in each case one ferrule of the respective optical plug connector into the guide sleeve in, in each case, one direction parallel to the longitudinal axis. The plug-in openings each are at least regionally surrounded by longitudinal stops of the sleeve-receiving cage for preventing the guide sleeve from being pulled out of the interior space of the sleeve-receiving cage, and the sleeve-receiving cage having two sleeve-receiving cage parts, and detent connection parts of the sleeve-receiving cage parts are engagable into one another with detent action via the sleeve-receiving cage parts being slid onto one another in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis.
