Ferrule for an optical plug-in connection

摘要

A ferrule for optical waveguides comprises a plug housing (31) adapted to be mated with another plug housing in a direction of insertion (32). The plug housing (31) has at least one receiving portion (38) for receiving a multiple optical waveguide and is made from thermoplastic plastics material having elongate filler particles (47) admixed thereto. At least in a surrounding region of the receiving portion (38) the filler particles (47) are arranged such that their direction of longitudinal extension runs at least in part transversely to the direction of insertion (32).
