Abstract

The invention relates to a connecting socket for a data network, comprising a housing and at least one female connector, the housing being made of plastic, and the inner surfaces of the housing being at least partially metallized.

Claims (23)

1. A connecting socket for a data network, comprising:

a housing, the housing being made of plastic, and wherein inner surfaces of the housing are at least partially metallized;

at least one female connector; and

wherein a pressure module is inserted from a rear side of the housing; and

wherein the pressure module comprises a guide body, a spring and a cable-fixing element, it being possible fix the cable-fixing element to be loaded by the spring.

2. The connecting socket as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the cable-fixing element is made of metal or a metallized plastic.

3. The connecting socket as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the cable-fixing element has at least one latching tab, and the guide body has at least one latching depression, with the result that the spring can be latched into the guide body with prestress.

4. The connecting socket as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the cable-fixing element has three latching tabs, two latching tabs being arranged laterally on a side of the cable-fixing element which faces the spring, and one latching tab being arranged laterally on another side which faces the cable.

5. The connecting socket as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the guide body is formed laterally on the inside with a saw-tooth profile.

6. The connecting socket as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the cable-fixing element is formed with a contact lug.

7. The connecting socket as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the contact lug is bent in the direction of the spring and is formed with a contact element which makes contact with the metallization of the plastic housing.

8. A connecting socket for a data network, comprising:

a housing, the housing being made of plastic, wherein an inner surface of the housing is at least partially metallized, the housing including a metallized wall monolithically formed with the housing;

a first female connector arranged within the housing; and

a second female connector arranged within the housing, the second female connector being shielded from the first female connector by the metallized wall of the housing wherein the first female connector includes a latching tab, the latching tab being accommodated in a cutout in the metallized wall of the housing.

9. A connecting socket for a data network, comprising:

a housing, the housing being made of plastic, wherein an inner surface of the housing is at least partially metallized, the housing including a metallized wall monolithically formed with the housing;

a first female connector arranged within the housing; and

a second female connector arranged within the housing, the second female connector being shielded from the first female connector by the metallized wall of the housing wherein a first area of the inner surface of the housing is exposed plastic, the first area being arranged adjacent the first female connector to enable matching capacitive coupling of a contact pair of the first female connector to the metallized inner surface.

10. A connecting socket for a data network, comprising:

a housing having an interior surface and an exterior surface, the interior surface being at least partially metallized and the exterior surface being exposed plastic;

a first female connector arranged within the housing; and

a pressure module arranged in the housing adjacent the first female connector, the pressure module including a guide body, a spring coupled to the guide body, and a cable-fixing element biased away from the guide body by the spring.
