Abstract
A sleeve part (1) for a plug connection for fiber optics is provided with an opening (2) for accommodating a plug part (21). The plug part (21) is insertable in the direction of an insertion axis (A) into the sleeve part (1). The sleeve part comprises a sleeve (3) for receiving a plug pin of the plug part (21). The sleeve part (1) is furthermore provided with a securing element (4) with a coding consisting of projections (5) and/or reliefs (6). The securement section (4) is arranged on at least one separately formed coding element (7, 7'). The coding element (7, 7') in a snap-on direction (R) roughly perpendicular to the insertion axis (A) can be snapped on the sleeve part (3).
