The wiring block includes one or more receiving region(s) for receiving one or more wire(s) of the multi-wire data cable(s). The receiving region is at least partly delimited by one or more receiving element, which is at least partly deformable. The one or more receiving element(s) includes one or more first receiving piece(s), which is implemented at least partly elastically and/or plastically deformable. The receiving region(s) includes one or more second receiving piece(s) including one or more holding lug(s), which is at least partly provided for fastening respectively one wire of the multi-wire data cable(s) in a form-fit manner. The first receiving piece at least partly has a first rigidity, the second receiving piece at least partly has a second rigidity different from the first rigidity. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A plug connector device, comprising: at least one wiring block provided for receiving at least one multi-wire data cable, wherein the at least one wiring block includes at least one receiving region for receiving at least one wire of the at least one data cable, wherein the at least one receiving region is at least partly delimited by at least one receiving element, the at least one receiving element being at least partly deformable, wherein the at least one receiving element further includes at least one first receiving piece, the first receiving piece being implemented at least partly elastically and/or plastically deformable, wherein the at least one receiving element further includes at least one second receiving piece, the at least one second receiving piece having at least one holding lug, the at least one holding lug being at least partly provided for fastening respectively one wire of the at least one data cable in a form-fit manner, and the at least one first receiving piece at least partly having a first rigidity, the at least one second receiving piece at least partly having a second rigidity, and wherein the first rigidity and second rigidity are different rigidities. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The plug connector device according to claim 1, wherein one or both of the at least one first receiving piece and the at least one second receiving piece are at least partly lamellar. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The plug connector device at least according to claim 2, wherein the at least one first receiving piece and the at least one second receiving piece of the at least one receiving element are arranged spaced apart as viewed in a radial direction of the at least one data cable. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The plug connector device according to claim 1, wherein the at least one wiring block includes at least one drain wire receiving element, wherein the at least one drain wire receiving element is provided for receiving a drain wire of the at least one data cable. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The plug connector device according to claim 4, wherein the at least one drain wire receiving element is at least partly groove-shaped. ### Claim 6 (depends on 4) The plug connector device at least according to claim 4, wherein the at least one drain wire receiving element is arranged at least partly on an exterior side of the at least one wiring block. ### Claim 7 (depends on 4) The plug connector device at least according to claim 4, wherein the at least one drain wire receiving element is provided for guiding the drain wire at least partly in an axial direction and in a radial direction. ### Claim 8 (depends on 4) The plug connector device at least according to claim 4, further comprising at least one contact element, wherein the at least one contact element is provided for electrically contacting the drain wire received in the at least one drain wire receiving element in an assembled state. ### Claim 9 (depends on 4) The plug connector device at least according to claim 4, wherein the at least one drain wire receiving element is U-shaped as viewed in a main extension direction of the at least one drain wire receiving element. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The plug connector device at least according to claim 1, further comprising at least one housing, the at least one housing at least partly encompassing the at least one wiring block in an assembled state, and at least one wiring cover, wherein the at least one wiring cover is pivotably arranged at the at least one housing. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The plug connector device according to claim 10, wherein the at least one wiring cover is releasable from the at least one housing in at least one folded-open state. ### Claim 12 (depends on 10) The plug connector device at least according to claim 10, wherein the at least one wiring cover further includes at least one supporting element, the at least one supporting element pivotably supporting the at least one wiring cover at the at least one housing, and the at least one supporting element includes at least one collar. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The plug connector device according to claim 12, wherein the at least one collar of the at least one supporting element engages behind a receptacle that is introduced in the at least one housing, the at least one collar is adapted to, in the pivoting movement of the at least one wiring cover, prevent lateral regions of the at least one wiring cover, on which the at least one supporting element is arranged, from bending out. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The plug connector device according to claim 1, further comprising at least one strain relief unit, wherein the at least one strain relief unit is arranged at the at least one wiring block, and wherein the at least one strain relief unit is provided for fixating the at least one data cable with respect to the at least one wiring block at least partly in a force-fit and/or form-fit fashion in an assembled state. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The plug connector device according to claim 14, wherein the at least one strain relief unit is provided for fixating the at least one data cable in at least two orientations differing by at least 45 degrees with respect to the at least one wiring block. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The plug connector device according to claim 15, wherein the at least one strain relief unit includes at least one strain relief element, the at least one strain relief element is fixable on the at least one wiring block in at least two orientations differing by at least 45 degrees with respect to the at least one wiring block. ### Claim 17 (depends on 14) The plug connector device at least according to claim 14, wherein the at least one strain relief unit includes at least one strain relief element, the at least one strain relief element is at least partly a holding strap. ### Claim 18 (depends on 14) The plug connector device at least according to
