Abstract
The invention relates to a device for the optical conductive connection of two optical waveguides 1, 2, comprising a sleeve body 3, 13 overlapping the ends of the optical waveguides, and being twistable and plastically deformable. In order to achieve a simple construction and handling of the device, the invention provides that the sleeve body 3, 13 is composed of an outer sleeve jacket 7, 17 with a continuous longitudinal slot. The sleeve jacket is twistable and elastically deformable. The inner side of the sleeve jacket, of support crosspieces 8, 18, form circular segments, in their cross sections, and enclosing a central through-opening 9, 19 for receiving the ends of the optical waveguides 1, 2.
