Abstract
The connection end of a light waveguide (LWG) is bonded to a holder for use in coupling the LWG to a plug connector. Two axially extending centering surfaces are provided which enable aligning the connection end of the LWG in a guide groove of the connector. Such centering surfaces are exposed axial zones of the glass sheath layer of the LWG, in which zones the outer primary coating of the LWG have been removed. Removal thereof is preferably effected by a cutting tool.
