Abstract
The contact connector arrangement for optical waveguides of the internationally standardized SC connector whose connection ends are each formed by a male connector comprises a connector housing (7) which receives at least two male connectors (6), is used for the manual handling of the plug-in process and cooperates by way of coupling means (8) in a positive locking manner with predetermined plug-in openings of an electric connector system RJ 45 or RJ 11 or the like. This ensures that the connection ends of optical waveguides which are readily manufactured as male connectors can be used directly for modular electric connector systems such as RJ 45 or RJ 11.
Claims6
A contact connector arrangement for optical waveguides of the internationally standardized SC connector whose connection ends are each formed by a male connector, said contact connector arrangement comprising a connector housing which receives at least two male connectors and cooperates by way of coupling means in a positive locking manner with predetermined plug-in openings of an electric connector system, wherein said coupling means comprise two substantially similar housing parts which are connected by way of flange means and which enclose means used for establishing contact.
