An arrangement of several ferrules for optical waveguides having at least one connection section, two ferrules respectively mutually connected by way of a connection section or mutually connected by way of a belt. In an advantageous embodiment, the ferrules are connected in one piece with the belt. In a process for producing a belt having plastic ferrules, the following process steps are implemented: Injection-molding a first plastic ferrule, conveying the finished plastic ferrule by a defined distance, and injection-molding a second plastic ferrule, so that it is connected with the first plastic ferrule. The process may further include belt segments which are injection-molded with the plastic ferrules.
Arrangement of several ferrules for optical waveguides with a plurality of connection sections, wherein at least two ferrules are connected with one another by at least one of a plurality of connection sections, at least one of the plurality of ferrules and at least one of the plurality of connection sections are formed in one piece, and the connection sections form a belt on which the ferrules are detachably fixed, such that when the ferrules are detected, the connection sections remain together in belt form.
