摘要

The method involves placing a sleeve (10) on an end section of an optical fiber bundle with glass fibers. The end section is inserted and positioned in a shaping tool (20) without pressing on the sleeve, where the shaping tool has two heated, radially movable press jaws (22a -22d). Pressure is exerted on the sleeve exclusively in a radial direction be the jaws, after the insertion. Independent claims are also included for the following: (A) an optical fiber bundle has an end section and a metallic sleeve attached to the end section (B) an apparatus for producing an end of an optical fiber bundle having a metallic sleeve.
