AI Technical Summary

⚠Technical Problem

Existing Ethernet connectors, such as the 8P8C modular connector, are bulky, difficult to mount, and increase the risk of electromagnetic interference due to the need to unwind twisted pairs, while complex designs like the plug assembly in WO 2011/035160 A2 are costly.

⚗Method used

A cylindrically shaped connector plug with axially extending wire holes and radially positioned plug contact elements, allowing for a compact design that maintains twisted pairs and reduces electromagnetic interference, with a locking groove for secure fitting.

🎯Benefits of technology

The solution provides a cost-effective, easy-to-install connector that minimizes electromagnetic interference and reduces the risk of catching on structures, while ensuring reliable electrical contact.

Abstract

Disclosed is a connector plug (1) comprising a plug body (2) having a cylindrically shape and an axially extending plug centre axis (3), wherein a number of wire holes (4) are extending axially in the plug body (2), and wherein a number of element holes (5) are extending radially between the number of wire holes (4) and an outer plug surface (6) of the plug body (2). The connector plug (1) further comprises plug contact elements (7) arranged in the number of element holes (5) so that an inner element end (8) of each of the plug contact elements (7) is arranged in or at a wire hole of the number of wire holes (4) and so that an outer element end (9) of each of the plug contact elements (7) is arranged at the outer plug surface (6) of the plug body (2), wherein the plug contact elements (7) and the number of element holes (5) are elongated in the direction of the axially extending plug centre axis (3). A cable assembly (16), a connector kit (47), a method for forming a cable assembly (16) and use of a connector plug (1) is also disclosed.
