<p>The invention is based on a connection device (10, 12), more particularly an optical connection device, comprising a number m - other than 1 - of N‑fold plugging elements (14a-c) which each have n contact locations (16a-c; 18a-c) with an unambiguously defined order, an X-fold plugging element (20a, 20b), which has x=m *n contact locations (22a, 24a, 26a, 40b, 42b, 44b; 122a, 124a, 126a, 140b, 142b, 144b) forming n contact groups (76a, 76b, 76c, 76d) each having m contact locations (22a, 24a, 26a, 40b, 42b, 44b; 122a, 124a, 126a, 140b, 142b, 144b), with an unambiguously defined order in each case, and a number x of conduction paths (46), wherein for arbitrary i from 1 to n it holds true that the ith contact location (16a-c; 18a-c) of each N‑fold plugging element (14a-c) is connected to at least one contact location (22a, 24a, 26a, 40b, 42b, 44b; 122a, 124a, 126a, 140b, 142b, 144b) of the i-th contact group (76a, 76b; 76c, 76d) of the X-fold plugging element (20a; 20b) via in each case one of the conduction paths (46), and for at least one of the contact groups (76a; 76c) of the X‑fold plugging element (20a; 20b) for arbitrary j from 1 to m it holds true that the j-th contact location (22a, 24a, 26a; 122a, 124a, 126a) of the at least one contact group (76a; 76c) of the X‑fold plugging element (20a; 20b) is connected to at least one contact location (16a-c; 18a-c) of the j-th N‑fold plugging element (14a-c) via at least one of the conduction paths (46).</p> |
