Abstract
A device for sealing a coupling unit for an optoelectronic component against contaminants includes a sealing element having at least one open end to be introduced into at least one opening of the coupling unit. The at least one open end seals the at least one opening and at least one cavity adjoins the at least one open end. Preferably, the optoelectronic component is an optoelectronic transceiver and the at least one opening receives an optical plug or plug part. The device according to the invention ensures secure sealing of a coupling element and at the same time can be produced in a low-cost and simple way.
