  • Patent number: 11502460
    Abstract: A data cable plug connector for data transmission includes a plug body comprising a cable connection end, a plug connection end and a plug shield. The cable connection end has a first connection channel for a first insulated conductor, a second connection channel for a second insulated conductor, and a shield connection for a conductor shield. The plug connection end has a contact carrier with contact openings for receiving contacts which are connectable to the insulated conductors. The cable connection end has an impedance transmitter made of electrically conductive material disposed adjacent to the contact carrier, the connection channels being formed in the impedance transmitter, and at least one material that is electrically conductive at least in parts being formed between the connection channels channel. Openings of the connection channels facing the contact carrier open into the openings of the contact carrier.

  • Patent number: 11489290
    Abstract: A data connector adapter includes a plug body having first and second plug connection ends, an electrically conductive plug shield and a contact carrier. The first and second plug connection ends respectively have first and second plug contact connection patterns for connecting first and second data connectors. The contact carrier is arranged between the plug connection ends and carries two first contacts and two second contacts respectively forming the first and second plug contact connection patterns. One of the first contacts in each case is electrically conductively connected to one of the second contacts via a contact connection section. The first and second contacts are surrounded at least in sections respectively by electrically insulating first and second carrier bodies having first and second dielectric constants ?R1, ?R2. Outer circumferential surfaces of the carrier bodies bear against an inner wall surface of the plug shield at least in sections.
