An optical conductor includes a transparent fiber of synthetic material, a reflective layer and a sheathing of synthetic material. The optical conductor is rotationally symmetrical relative to a fiber axis. The property and the position of the end race of the fiber are of decisive significance for the optical quality of a plug connection of two optical conductors. The ends of the optical conductors must be arranged at a minimum spacing one from the other and the fiber axes must be oriented exactly one onto the other. Usually, the end of the optical conductor is mounted in a ferrule, in which case it is important that, in a plug connection, the one end face is positioned exactly relative to the other end face. The projecting fiber end is severed by a laser beam, wherein an end face arises, which displays the required mechanical and optical qualities.
