Abstract
A base housing receives a plurality of optical plug connectors. Each of the connectors is prestressed in the axial insertion direction with a respective spring. A supplementary housing part is connectible to the base housing in a predetermined connecting position. The supplementary housing part is formed with support faces. The supplementary housing part is movable relative to the base housing in the insertion direction in such a way into the connecting position that the support faces carry the rear spring ends along with them and in the process prestress the springs.
