The invention relates to a connector for creating an optical waveguide connector-in connection for an optical waveguide cable containing an optical waveguide, said connector comprising a housing, a ferrule holder arranged in the housing, and a locking device arranged outside the housing, on a narrow side thereof. The inventive connector has a housing that has the outer shape of an RJ-45 connector, is open on the front side and the rear side thereof, and has an inner region surrounded by the narrow sides extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of the connector-in connection, and a catch spring used as a locking device for engaging in a coupling, the catch spring being elastically connected to the housing. Ferrule holders for each of the optical waveguides guided into the inner region through the rear side of the housing are arranged in the inner region, each ferrule holder being respectively provided with a recess for a coupling ferrule on the side thereof facing the front side of the housing. The invention also relates to a double coupler and a single coupler, having a housing that is a modified housing of an RJ-45 connector and has a rear engagement in the locking device of the connector, and a coupling insert containing a ceramic sleeve and a coupling ferrule.

Fiber-optical plug as well as a single and double coupler for receiving such a plug

A plug for light wave conductors or photo-conductors with a plug housing into a rear end of which a photo-conductor bundle with at least two photo-conductor fibers is introduced, and from an oppositely lying front end of which there emerge ferrules, into which, in each case, one of the photo-conductor fibers is introduced. The ferrules are supported in a ferrule housing which is installed in a plug housing correspondingly formed for the reception of the ferrule housing. The ferrules are movable, spring-loaded in their axial direction, in which the plug is intended for being plugged together with a coupling housing that receives this plug. The ferrule housing comprises a core housing and a core interior housing, which are designed for the reception of two ferrules. The ferrules are supported in the core housing. Front ends of the ferrules extend forward through the core housing and rear ends of the ferrules extend into the core interior housing. The core housing and core interior housing are plugged relatively at least partly into one another and form a double unit.
