Abstract:
A socket for a releasable and reproducible assembly with an optical fiber plug. The socket has a main housing and an access shaft for inserting an optical fiber plug with a plug housing. At the inner end of the access shaft an optical fitting surface is arranged that is inverse to an optical fitting surface of the optical fiber plug. The main housing has a knurled ring, at least one movable engagement pin and a locking ring. The closing path of the engagement pin is formed by a guiding groove in the locking ring with at least two sections. The guiding groove has a first azimuthally extending portion and a second axially extending section with a recess at the end region of a transversal groove. A friction-locked snapping in of the engagement pin into the recess at the end region of the transversal groove occurs.

Claim (Index 12):
A method for a releasable and reproducible assembly of an optical fiber plug with a socket, comprising the steps of:\n a. Inserting an optical fiber plug into an access shaft of a socket; b. Moving an engagement pin by means of a knurled ring attached thereto in a first section of a closing path from a first position to a second position on an azimuthal path, wherein the optical fiber plug is not frictionally engaged with the socket in this step; c. Moving the engaging pin in a second section of the closing path from the second position to an end position on an axial path by applying a defined axial pressing force; d. Producing a friction-locked connection of corresponding optical fitting surfaces of the optical fiber plug and of the access shaft and the main housing.
