Abstract
A connector device produces a connection by means of Single Pair Ethernet (SPE). The connector device includes at least one connection element for an SPE connection, a light source for generating a light emission, and a light-guide element. The light source is set up to couple the generated light emission into the light-guide element, and the light-guide element is set up to couple an output-light distribution out in a coupling-out area.
