Abstract
The invention relates to a data transmission module for use in a connector with a modularly configurable supporting frame, said data transmission module being designed for transmitting electrotechnical signals using at least one data cable. The data transmission module also comprises a housing and an insulating body which can be inserted into the housing, the insulating body accommodating at least two contact elements which are each connected to at least one wire of the data cable, and the insulating body accommodating at least one contact carrier which accommodates at least the two contact elements of the data cable.
Claims12
A data transmission module (1) for use in a plug connector with a modularly configurable supporting frame, comprising:
- a housing (2);
- an insulating body (6) received in the housing (2);
- a plurality of contact carriers (9) received in the insulating body (6);
- and
- a plurality of contact elements (8), two of the contact elements (8) being received in each of the contact carriers (9),
- wherein the data transmission module (1) is designed for transmission of electronic signals through a data cable (3),
- wherein the contact elements (8) are each connected to a wire of the data cable (3),
- wherein the data cable (3) is a twisted-pair cable (4) comprising at least two twisted-pair wires (5), and
- wherein the housing (2) is made of an electrically conductive material and thus serves substantially as a shielding element for shielding the twisted-pair cable (4) or the twisted-pair wires (5) contained therein.
A data transmission module (1) for use in a plug connector with a modularly configurable supporting frame, comprising:
- a housing (2);
- an insulating body (6) received in the housing (2);
- a plurality of contact carriers (9) received in the insulating body (6);
- and
- a plurality of contact elements (8), two of the contact elements (8) being received in each of the contact carriers (9),
- wherein the data transmission module (1) is designed for transmission of electronic signals through a data cable (3),
- wherein the contact elements (8) are each connected to a wire of the data cable (3),
- wherein the housing (2) consists of at least two housing elements,
- wherein a first housing element receives the insulating body (6) by form fit, and a second housing element is fixed to the first housing element by at least one fixing element (10) and thus forms an interior of the housing (6).
