differential signal, wherein the conductors of the conductor pair have a first mutual spacing (X) in a sheathed cable section, diverge in an expansion section in the direction of the plug connector, and have a larger second mutual spacing (Y) in a guide section of the plug connector, wherein a sleeve part at least partially surrounding the conductor pair in the expansion section is provided to exert pressure on the conductors of the conductor pair at least in sections, in order to reduce the spacing therebetween. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A plug connector arrangement comprising a plug connector and a cable connected thereto with at least one wire pair for transmission of a differential signal, wherein the wires of the wire pair are spaced apart at a first mutual distance (X) in a sheathed cable section, diverge, in an expansion section, in the direction of the plug connector, and in a guide section of the plug connector are spaced apart at a greater second mutual distance (Y), wherein a sleeve part, at least partially surrounding the wire pair in the expansion section, exerts pressure on the wires of the wire pair, at least in sections, in order to reduce the distance therebetween, wherein the sleeve part is radially deformed through the external application of pressure, in particular by being pressed or crimped, in order to further reduce the distance between the wires of the wire pair running through the sleeve part. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The plug connector arrangement of claim 1, wherein the sleeve part is a sleeve completely surrounding the wire pair or a clamping part at least partially surrounding the wire pair. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The plug connector arrangement of claim 1, wherein the sleeve part has an inner surface which is angled, conical or convex, relative to the longitudinal direction of the cable (L), wherein preferably an inner diameter of the sleeve part is matched at its cable-side end to the first distance (X) and is matched at its plug connector-side end to the second distance (Y). ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The plug connector arrangement of claim 1, wherein the sleeve part is arranged and formed such that, after emerging from the sheathed cable section, the wires continue to run spaced at substantially the first mutual distance (X) and then diverge in the expansion section with increased curvature in the direction of the guide section. ### Claim 5 (canceled) ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The plug connector arrangement of claim 1, including a spacer projecting into the expansion section which is arranged between the wires of the wire pair and against which the wires are pressed by the sleeve part. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The plug connector arrangement of claim 1, wherein the sleeve part and/or the spacer is formed of a non-conductive material. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The plug connector arrangement of claim 1, wherein the cable has an outer conductor surrounding the wire pair and the plug connector has an outer conductor part, which is connected electrically with the outer conductor. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The plug connector arrangement of claim 8, wherein the outer conductor is pressed or crimped together with the outer conductor part. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The plug connector arrangement of claim 8, wherein the sleeve part, at least at its cable-side end, has approximately the same inner diameter as the outer conductor of the cable and continues a shielding of the wire pair in the direction of the plug connector. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The plug connector arrangement of claim 1, wherein the plug connector includes an insulator part with guide channels for the wires of the wire pair which are spaced apart transversely to the longitudinal direction of the cable, wherein the guide channels form the guide section. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The plug connector arrangement of claim 1, wherein the wires of the wire pair are in each case connected at their plug connector-side ends, with inner conductor contact elements of the plug connector. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The plug connector arrangement claim 1, wherein in the guide section of the plug connector the wires are in each case surrounded by a wire sleeve made of an electrically conductive material adjoining the expansion section in order to reduce the distance between the wires. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The plug connector arrangement of claim 13, wherein the end of each wire sleeve facing the expansion section surrounds the wire insulation and/or the other end of each wire sleeve surrounds and makes electrical contact with non-insulated wire conductor, wherein preferably both ends of the wire sleeves are in each case crimped onto the wire. ### Claim 15 (depends on 2) The plug connector arrangement of claim 2, wherein the sleeve part is a clamping sleeve, a clip sleeve or C-sleeve ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The plug connector arrangement of claim 15, wherein the sleeve part has an inner surface which is angled, conical or convex, relative to the longitudinal direction of the cable (L), wherein preferably an inner diameter of the sleeve part is matched at its cable-side end to the first distance (X) and is matched at its plug connector-side end to the second distance (Y). ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The plug connector arrangement of claim 16, including a spacer projecting into the expansion section which is arranged between the wires of the wire pair and against which the wires are pressed by the sleeve part. ### Claim 18 (depends on 7) The plug connector arrangement of claim 7, wherein the sleeve part and/or the spacer is a plastics material. ### Claim 19 (depends on 8) The plug connector of claim 8, wherein the outer conductor part is an outer conductor housing. ### Claim 20 (depends on 9) The plug connector arrangement of claim 9, wherein the outer conductor is in the form of a conductor braid. ### Claim 21 (depends on 9) The plug connector arrangement of claim 9, wherein the sleeve part, at least at its cable-side end, has approximately the same inner diameter as the outer conductor of the cable and continues a shielding of the wire pair in the direction of the plug connector. ### Claim 22 (depends on 12) The plug connector arrangement of claim 12, wherein the wires of the wire pair are in each case crimped at their plug connector-side ends, with inner conductor contact elements of the plug connector.
