A device which is particularly useful in an assembly for receiving and protecting a splice connection between electro-optical components characterized by a strain-relief element and a holding fixture for receiving the strain-relief element. The strain-relief element preferably has two cylindrical carriers interconnected by a band-like middle piece and the holding fixture has a cavity with two holding portions for receiving the cylindrical carrier with the distance between the holding portions being less than the distance between the carriers when the strain-relief element is in an unflexed state so that the band-like middle piece and waveguide portion between the carrier are held in a bent configuration when the strain-relief element is inserted in the fixture. |
