Abstract

A coupling device for glass fiber connectors has a front panel (2, 4) and at least one coupling (1, 1′, 1″, 201, 207), which can be inserted into the front panel from the front face (20, 40, 202) and can be locked by means of latching springs (14, 14′, 14″, 214). The latching springs engage behind the front panel (2, 4). The coupling (1, 1′, 1″, 201, 207) can be released from the front panel. In addition to plug openings (21, 41) for the couplings, the front panel (2, 4) may also have openings (22, 23, 23′, 42, 47, 45, 46) for releasing the couplings from the front.
