Abstract
A plug part (1) for an optical plug-and-socket connection includes a plug housing (2) and at least one plug pin (3) which is held rotationally fixed in the plug housing on a pin mounting (4). The pin mounting at the same time is under axial spring bias. It is held rotationally fixed in a sleeve (6) which is fastened on a cable-side housing terminal part (7). A positioning section (8) permits the fixing of the radial relative position on a complementary positioning section on the plug housing (2). The optimal relative position is with this previously evaluated with a measuring adapter. The thus formed cable terminal unit (26) may thus be easily assembled and handled and manufactured with a fiber optic cable.
