Abstract
A plug assembly for use with cables (K) with cable plugs (S), in particular for data cables such as RJ45 cables, waveguides, power cables, and the like. The front section of a housing (1) surrounds the cable plug (S). The housing (1) or a clamping part (5) is equipped with a stop for the cable plug (S) in order to position the cable plug (S) at least in the longitudinal axial direction of the housing (1). A specified distance is formed in the contact region of the cable plug (S) and/or between the housing (1) and the cable plug (S) as a movement clearance for at least one section of the cable plug (S) in at least one direction transversely to the longitudinal axial direction of the housing (1).
Claims19
A plug assembly for use with cables with cable plugs, the plug assembly comprising:
- a housing for protected receiving of the cable plug, wherein a front portion of the housing surrounds a front portion of the cable plug at a distance;
- a kink protector (33) which is connected to the housing at a rear portion thereof;
- a cable plug(S) which is fastened to the cable and received in the front portion of the housing;
- a clamping part which is radially compressible and engages around the cable (K) and is received in the housing and, in a compressed state, at least with a rear portion clamps the cable;
- a front end of the clamping part which faces the cable plug(S) and is designed for receiving and positioning the cable plug in a predetermined position at the front end of the clamping part or is provided with at least one stop for the cable plug;
- wherein the cable plug is movably held in the clamping part (40) so as to be movable by a predetermined distance in at least one direction transversely with respect to a direction of a longitudinal axis of the housing, or characterized in that
- a distance of a predetermined extent is formed between an outer side of the clamping part and an inner side of the housing and at least the front end of the clamping part is movably held so as to be movable in at least one direction transversely with respect to the direction of the longitudinal axis of the housing (30), wherein preferably the front end of the clamping part (40) is arranged so as to be elastically restorable by said distance.
A plug assembly for use with cables with cable plugs, the plug assembly comprising:
- a housing for protected receiving of the cable plug, a front portion of the housing surrounds a front portion of the cable plug at a distance;
- a kink protector connected to the housing at a rear portion thereof;
- a cable plug fastened to the cable and received in the front portion of the housing;
- a clamping part which is radially compressible and engages around the cable received in the housing (30) and, in a compressed state, at least with a rear portion thereof clamps the cable;
- a front end of the clamping part which faces the cable plug is designed for receiving and positioning the cable plug in a predetermined position at the front end of the clamping part or is provided with at least one stop for the cable plug;
- a releasable latching connection between the clamping part and the housing, wherein, when releasing the latching connection, the clamping part is disengaged from the housing and the housing and the kink protector are displaceable rearwardly along the cable.
