For high-speed plug connections in data centres, the invention provides a so-called QSFP connector, which comprises a one-piece metal outer housing and in which an integral locking device is formed. By means of a lug attached to the locking device, the latter is detachable from a cage-like mating connector of complementary design. The locking device is arranged by means of a prismatic guide in an axially displaceable manner in slots of complementary design in the lateral walls of the outer housing. For direct insertion in the case of copper-based twinaxial cable connections, a printed circuit board is provided, which is connected inside the outer housing to electrical conductors arranged therein. For connecting to the printed circuit board in axially aligned grooves, a cable manager holds the electrical conductors in the grooves by means of a fixing clip surrounding said electrical conductors. |
