Abstract
For the operationally safe enclosure and termination of a light waveguide cable in a light waveguide connector, an end section of a Kevlar fiber layer of the cable for absorbing tensile stresses and over which the cable jacket has been removed is placed over a hollow cylindrical extension of the connector whose outside is provided with transverse grooves, whereupon a sleeve of elastic plastic previously pushed over the cable is further pushed over the extension convered by the fiber layer. The inside of the sleeve is provided with a groove structure complementary to the transverse grooves of the extension so that the grooves of the extension mesh with those of the sleeve like teeth, thereby firmly clamping the Kevlar fiber layer between extension and sleeve and forcing a zigzag shape in the fiber layer.
