Abstract

An optical plug connection (1) consists of a sleeve portion (2) and a plug portion (3). The sleeve portion (2) comprises a sleeve housing (4), the insert openings (5) of which are closed by protecting flaps (6) with spring action. These are formed as a bent component made of metal and are flexibly latched at the sleeve housing. For a better handling of the locking element (21) a separate gripper part (22) can be snapped onto the plug portion (3).
