Abstract
In a tension-proof connection for optical waveguide cables, a metal sleeve (4) containing several longitudinal slots (8) separated from each other is slid over the stripped length of the cable ends. Reinforcing fibers (3) are led out through the longitudinal slots (8) and are present on the metal sleeve (4) in a stretched condition. A shrinkage hose (7) shrunk onto the metal sleeve (4) fixes the reinforcing fibers (3) on the sleeve surface (4). Over the course of their stripped length, the optical waveguide cores (2) are conducted helically in slots of spacers (6) located on a central element (1).
