Abstract
An assembly (1) with a charging plug (2) and a charging cable (3) attached thereto for a charging column for charging electric vehicles. The charging cable (3) has a cable sheath (4) and a plurality of conductors (5) movably arranged therein, the charging plug (2) including a plug housing (6) on which plug contacts (8) interconnected to the conductors (5) are arranged at a front end (7). Furthermore, a holder (10), to which the cable sheath (4) of the charging cable (3) is fastened, is arranged at a rear end (9) of the charging plug (2), wherein the holder (10) is arranged rotatably about a longitudinal axis (11) of the plug housing (6) by an angle of rotation (a) relative to the plug housing (6).
