Abstract: In order to improve a cable, comprising an inner cable body, in which at least one conductor strand of an optical and/or electrical conductor runs in the longitudinal direction of the cable, a cable sheath, enclosing the inner cable body and lying between an outer surface of the cable and the inner cable body, and at least one information carrier unit, disposed within the outer surface of the cable, in such a way that said information carrier unit can be easily applied during the production of the cable and is positioned in a protected and reliable manner in the cable, it is proposed that the information carrier unit can be read by electromagnetic field coupling and that the information carrier unit is disposed on an intermediate sheath lying between the inner cable body and an outer cable sheath.

Abstract: In order to improve a cable, comprising an inner cable body, in which electrical conductor strands run in the longitudinal direction of the cable, a cable sheath, enclosing the inner cable body and lying between an outer surface of the cable and the inner cable body, and at least one information carrier unit, disposed within the outer surface of the cable, to increase the range of communication between the information carrier unit and the read/write device, it is proposed to provide the information carrier unit having an antenna unit, which can be coupled with a read/write device by parasitic electromagnetic fields between the antenna unit and at least two of the electrical conductor strands of the inner cable body.

Abstract: In order to improve a cable, comprising an inner cable body, in which at least one conductor strand of an optical and/or electrical conductor runs in the longitudinal direction of the cable, an outer cable sheath, enclosing the inner cable body and lying between an outer sheath surface of the cable and the inner cable body, and at least one information carrier unit, disposed within the outer sheath surface of the cable such that the cable also comprises a shielding, the invention proposes that the information carrier unit having an antenna unit lying in an antenna surface running approximately parallel to the longitudinal direction of the cable, by the antenna surface running at a distance from an electrical shielding of the cable and by providing, between the antenna surface and the shielding, a spacing layer, in which the electromagnetic field that couples to the antenna unit and passes through the antenna surface can extend between the antenna unit and the shielding.

Abstract: An improved electrical plug-and-socket connectors with screw-type clamping connections has a step-shaped screw brake for protecting against loss of the clamping screw of connecting stranded conductors of electrical components having as the clamping mode a screw-type clamping connection. The screw brake has one, two or more strips. The plug-and-socket connector has a screw-type connection, having an insulating part, arranged to accommodate at least one contact insert. The contact insert has a substantially cylindrical shape and comprises a contact portion for electrical/mechanical connection to an oppositely shaped contact piece of a matched plug-and-socket connector at a first end of the contact insert. It further comprises an insertion opening for at least one connecting stranded conductor at a second end of the contact insert, there opening in the insertion opening a screw hole which is oriented substantially transversely relative to the central longitudinal axis thereof and comprises an internal thread.

Abstract: In order to improve an insert for an opening in a wall area of an appliance comprising a housing socket, an assembly device provided on the housing socket, with an assembly section which can be guided through the opening in the wall area and has snap elements which engage behind an edge of the opening as well as with a pressure ring which is arranged on the housing socket at a distance from the snap elements and can be adjusted in the direction of the snap elements by means of an advancing guide as a result of a rotary movement about the central axis, in such a manner that a secure assembly of the housing socket is possible, it is suggested that the pressure ring be rotatable in a first direction of rotation in order to secure the housing socket and that the housing socket be adapted to be fixed against any co-rotation in the first direction of rotation by means of a holding section element.

Abstract: A cable feed-through is provided in accordance with the present invention. The cable feed-through comprises a housing which can be fixed to an appliance, a fixing device for a cable held on the housing and a shield contact element held on the housing. The shield contact element comprises a bristle element for making contact with a cable shield with elastic and electrically conductive bristles.

Abstract: A cable feed-through with an elastic sealing element having at least one cable feed-through channel is provided. The elastic sealing element is assembled from two sealing element parts separated by a dividing surface and has a feed-through member which comprises the at least one cable feed-through channel and inner sealing surfaces which can abut sealingly on at least one cable sheath. At least one holding element is provided, with which the two sealing element parts can be acted upon in such a manner that the inner sealing surfaces abut sealingly on the cable sheath and the sealing element parts abut sealingly on one another with their contact surfaces respectively bordering on the dividing surface.

Abstract: In order to improve a cable feed-through, comprising a housing which can be fixed to an appliance, a fixing device for a cable held on the housing and a shield contact element held on the housing, in such a manner that it is possible to make contact with the cable shield in as optimum a manner as possible it is suggested that the shield contact element comprise a bristle element making contact with a cable shield with elastic and electrically conductive bristles.
