Summary:A hookup connection between a fiber optics hookup cable ( 7 ) and an endoscope optics ( 1 ). A connector ( 6 ) of the hookup cable ( 7 ) including a snap-in device ( 16 ) for snap-in engagement into at least one recess ( 17 ) running on the circumference of a hookup terminal ( 5 ) of the endoscope optics ( 1 ). The connector ( 6 ) includes a guide sleeve ( 13 ) and a locking element ( 16 ). The guide sleeve ( 13 ) receives and guides the hookup terminal ( 5 ) and constitutes, at an end near the cable, a cable socket ( 12 ). The locking element ( 16 ), which engages the recess, is radially displaceable in a supported manner and is configured in the region of the recess. A handling bush ( 18 ) is supported in a longitudinally displaceable manner on the guide sleeve ( 13 ) and is axially braced in both directions against the guide sleeve ( 13 ) by springs ( 20, 21 ). The handling bush ( 18 ) is fitted at the site of the recess ( 17 ) with an inwardly projecting boss ( 19 ) which, in the rest position of the handling bush ( 18 ), maintains the locking element ( 16 ) in its locked position.
