Abstract

A device for measuring and testing components of optical networks includes an optical connector over which an optical cable may be optically connected to the device's measuring and/or testing equipment; wherein a first connector element is provided, onto which a complimentary second connector element, attached to the optical cable or to this connectable adapter, may be connected to form an optical coupling; wherein the first connector element is attached to one end of the tubular connection elements, which is connected at its other end to the connector and is reversibly and three-dimensionally flexible.
