Abstract
A closure part for the liquid and dirt-sealed closure of a coupling socket for optical waveguides carries a central sealing element and a sleeve coaxially surrounding the sealing element. The sealing element includes an end surface having a bevel with a surface area adapted to an edging on an end surface of the coupling socket. The sealing element is pressed against the socket and seals the socket by suitable pressure. The sleeve grips in a firmly adhering manner around an outer lateral surface of the socket, fixes the closure part in an SC receptacle and seals the socket from the outside.
