Abstract
A device for securing fiber-shaped light waveguides in a lead-through opening of a housing comprises a fixing member of elastic deformable material which is inserted into the through-opening. The fixing member has at least one channel for loosely receiving the light waveguide and is provided with a recess, either in the interior of the member or between an outer periphery of the member and an edge of the opening in which a stopper member is inserted to cause elastic deformation of the fixing member so that the channels grip the optical waveguides.
