The invention relates to a fiber optic cable connector (), the fiber optic cable contact () having a hot forming zone () at a free longitudinal end portion () and, at a portion () of the fiber optic cable contact () remote from the hot forming zone (), a thermal barrier zone (), the thermal barrier zone () being configured in such a way that it prevents heat from passing from the hot forming zone () into a portion of the fiber optic cable contact () on the other side of the thermal barrier zone ().

Fiber optic cable connector

The invention provides an optical short-circuit insert for accommodation in a plug housing, with a plug region with two mutually parallel optical fiber ends of an optical fiber portion. A curved region of the optical fiber portion, intermediate optical fiber ends, is guided in an arc of 180 degrees. The optical fiber portion has a curved portion of a fiber consisting of multi-component glass with cladding or of a multi-conductor glass fiber with cladding, which is enveloped in a plastic carrier. An optical short-circuit plug with a plug housing enveloping a plug and a short-circuit insert capable of being pushed into it is also provided.

Optical short-circuit insert and optical short-circuit plug

The invention relates to a plug connector arrangement with a two-part mating halves ( ), in which a first mating half ( ) can be joined to a second mating half ( ) via a plug-in control ( ). The plug-in control ( ) has a lever arm ( ) pivotally mounted on a mating half ( ) that controls a gearing region ( ), forcibly actuating the mating halves ( ). The lever arm ( ) is provided on one side on the mating half ( ) and in addition to its pivot movement ( ) is mounted via a pivot support ( ) on the mating half ( ) to ensure that the mating halves and the electrical connections are securely joined, despite simple construction, whereby the invention may be used in as many different ways as possible.
