PCT No. PCT/EP95/01995 Sec. 371 Date Nov. 25, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Nov. 25, 1996 PCT Filed May 24, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO95/32445 PCT Pub. Date Nov. 30, 1995The invention refers to an optical waveguide coupling device with several optical waveguide conductors, connected by ridges, with a housing, comprising on one side an insertion aperture for an optical waveguide and on another side connecting means, whereby the insertion aperture is connected to the connecting means by way of a cable guide, in the interior of the housing and whereby the cable guide, in the vicinity of the insertion aperture, has a resiliently mounted clamping element for holding the optical waveguide, which allows the optical waveguide to move in the direction of the housing and prevents it from moving in the opposite directions. An improved optical waveguide coupling which can be handled easily and quickly is characterized in that the cable guide branches over at least one separating element for separating to guides for the optical waveguide conductors, whereby the guides lead to the respective connecting means, whereby each guide is allocated at least one separation plane of the separation element, in such a way that during advance of the optical waveguide cable, tearing forces act on the ridges between the optical waveguide conductors and the optical waveguide cable is split into individual conductors or groups of conductors which are guided into the guides.
