Fibre-optical connection and method of its production

Abstract

Abstract An optical fibre is automatically centred and mounted by an interference fit which is produced by heating a metallic guide sleeve (2) to approx. 250 DEG C, placing the conducting fibre (1) in the guide sleeve and subsequently cooling. According to the invention, a concentric intermediate layer (3) of a fluoroplastic which damps temperature and voltage differences is present between the optical fibre and guide sleeve. Consequently, the dimensional accuracies required in optical telecommunications are satisfied in conjunction with a simultaneous simplification of the production of such elements. <IMAGE>
