Abstract

A cable for the transmission of signals, includes a plurality of leads, on whose inner conductors an electrically conductive end piece is affixed. At least one of the end pieces includes a first latching element. The cable includes a coupler element, and the coupler element has a body having a longitudinal axis. In addition, the body has parallel feed-throughs, electrically insulated from each other, to accommodate the end pieces. At least one of the feed-throughs includes a second latching element. The end piece is inserted into the feed-through such that the first latching element locks into place with the second latching element. The body furthermore has a first surface and a second surface to guide a mating piece of the coupler element, the first surface having a radially outwardly directed normal vector, and the second surface having a radially inwardly directed normal vector.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A cable for transmitting signals, comprising:
a plurality of leads;
an electrically conductive end piece fixedly provided on an internal conductor of each lead, at least one end piece including a first latch;
a coupler having a body formed of one piece from an insulating material and having a longitudinal axis;
wherein the body includes parallel feed-throughs, electrically isolated from each other, that accommodate the end pieces, at least one feed-thr…
