摘要

The present invention relates to a connecting device (7) for providing an optical connection between an apparatus (1) comprising an apparatus port (2) and provided for receiving and/or sending optical signals, and at least one optical fiber (5) comprising a connector (6). The connecting device (7) comprises a support plate (8) supporting at least one adapter (9). The adapter (9) comprises an adapter contact (11) adapted for a plug connection with the apparatus port (2) of the apparatus (1), and a connector contact (12) adapted for a plug and/or screw connection with the connector (6) of the fiber (5). The support plate (8) provides a grip for manually plugging in/off all of its adapters (9) simultaneously into/from the respective apparatus ports (2).
