Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2009012845A1] The invention relates to an optical plug connection for optical waveguides comprising a plug (1) and a matching socket (2), and also comprises a method for adjusting the plug connection. In the case of such a plug connection, the plug (1) has at least one planar, smoothed contact area (19) oriented with respect to a propagation direction of a light beam passing from or into the plug (1), for bearing on a corresponding planar, smoothed mating contact area (19) of the socket (2) that is oriented with respect to the propagation direction of the light beam.
