A connector (2) for an optical cable (1) having at least one glass fiber (4.1, 4.2) is characterized in that the plug contact is electrical and the signal transmission is optical. For this purpose, an electrical plug contact (5.1, 5.2) is provided for the at least one glass fiber (4.1, 4.2), as well as a first converter for converting an electrical signal into an optical signal and/or a second converter for converting an optical signal into an electrical signal. The at least one glass fiber (4.1, 4.2) of the optical cable (1) is connected directly to the the first and second converters, respectively. The first and second converters, respectively, are e.g. embodied by light-emitting diodes and photodiodes, respectively.
