Connection means for optical fibres

摘要

The present invention relates to an optical connection means arranged in order to rearrange and connect optical fibers connected to the connection means. In order to simplify handling of optical fiber ribbons, so-called fiber ribbons, an optical connection means with an integrated cross-connection (2) has been produced with which component optical fibers (3) connected to the component can be rearranged such as cross-connected and connected via an interface (4). With an optical cross-connection of the "sidings" type integrated with a so-called MT-connector interface from for example a four-fiber transmitter array and a four-fiber receiver array an eight-fiber MT-connector interface with alternate transmitter respective receiver fibers next to each other can be obtained.
