## Abstract

A plug connector housing has a cable connection element on which at least two cables, at least one first cable and at least one second cable can be fastened for shield connection and/or strain relief, wherein the cable connection element has different fastening planes for the at least first cable and the at least second cable. A plug connector with such a plug connector housing can thus be assembled in cleanroom environments.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A plug connector housing, which has a cable connection element on which at least two cables, at least one first cable and at least one second cable are fastened for shield connection and/or strain relief, wherein the cable connection element has two mutually opposing fastening planes for the at least one first cable and the at least one second cable, which fastening planes are arranged offset from one another in a plug-in direction.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The plug connector housing as claimed in claim 1,
wherein the at least one first cable and the at least one second cable are arranged opposite one another.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The plug connector housing as claimed in claim 1,
wherein the at least one first cable is a plurality of first cables and a the at least one second cable is a plurality of second cables and
wherein the plurality of first cables are arranged opposite the plurality of second cables.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The plug connector housing as claimed in claim 1,
wherein the cable connection element is formed from a flat material having an S-shaped base area and two fastening faces integrally formed thereon and protruding perpendicularly therefrom.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The plug connector housing as claimed in claim 4,
wherein a screw-on plate is fastened on each of the two fastening faces.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The plug connector housing as claimed in claim 5,
wherein at least one clamp is provided on each of the two fastening faces, by which clamp the at least two cables to be connected are fixed on the cable connection element.

### Claim 7 (depends on 5)

The plug connector housing as claimed in claim 5,
wherein the plug connector housing has at least two opposing side faces and
wherein a first of the two fastening faces of the cable connection element is fixed on a first of the two opposing side faces and a second of the two fastening faces of the cable connection element is fixed on a second of the two opposing side faces.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The plug connector housing as claimed in claim 7,
wherein the second of the two fastening faces is fixed on the second of the two opposing side faces of the plug connector housing via at least one web.

### Claim 9 (depends on 4)

The plug connector housing as claimed in claim 4,
wherein the two fastening faces are arranged at two mutually opposing fastening planes.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The plug connector housing as claimed in claim 1,
wherein the cable connection element is made from an electrically conductive material.

### Claim 11

A plug connector housing, comprising a cable connection element adapted
to fasten at least one first cable for shield connection and/or strain relief in a first fastening plane, and
to fasten at least one second cable for shield connection and/or strain relief in a second fastening plane,
wherein the first fastening plane and the second fastening plane are mutually opposing and arranged at an offset from one another in a plug-in direction.
