Abstract: A connecting device for connecting an electrical cable to an electrical device is provided. The electrical cable is connected to a plug connector, preferably of the RJ-45 plug configuration, for plugging into a corresponding socket of the electrical device. The connecting device is easy to assembly and ensures that the electrical cable and the plug connector are protected from mechanical damage. The electrical cable can be introduced into a housing together with the plug connector and maintained therein in this introduced state. The electrical cable, or the plug connector that is connected to the electrical cable, can be fixed to the socket or to the electrical device by means of snap-in elements which are located on the housing.

Abstract: The invention relates to a connecting device for connecting an electrical cable (2) to an electrical device. Said electrical cable (2) is connected to a plug connector (3), especially a plug connector with an RJ-45 plug configuration; for plugging into a corresponding socket of the electrical device. The inventive connecting device (1) ensures that the electrical cable (2) and the plug connector (3) are protected from mechanical damage. Said connecting device (1) is also easy to assemble. The electrical cable (2) can be introduced into a housing together with the plug connector (3) and maintained therein in this introduced state and the electrical cable (2) or the plug connector (3) that is connected to the electrical cable (2) can be fixed to the socket or to the electrical device by means of snap-in elements (4) which are located on the housing.
