An optical conductor connection includes two axially aligned optical conductors to be connected, one of the optical conductors including a protecting tube having one longitudinal end portion which is an enlarged end portion having first threading thereon, and the other of the optical conductors including a protecting tube having another longitudinal end portion having second threading thereon. Each of the optical conductors further includes an optical conductor rod disposed axially in the respective protecting tube and spacers between the rod and the respective protecting tube for supporting the rod within the protecting tube in spaced relationship relative to the respective protecting tube. A sleeve is disposed between each protecting tube and rod of the two optical conductors and extends longitudinally between the two axially aligned optical conductors. A nut is threaded on the second threading and a coupling member has a radial portion which abuts the nut and a cylindrical portion which is disposed about the nut and which is threaded to the first threading.
