Abstract:
1. A connection device for the transmission of optical and/or electrical signals, comprising: a cable; and a coupling element configured for coupling to the cable and to a matching counterpart of another device via a coupling end of the coupling element, said coupling element having an inner part with a connecting element for connection to the cable and an outer part for coupling to the matching counterpart, wherein the outer part is detachably coupled to the inner part, wherein the outer part comprises a first coupling end for coupling to the matching counterpart and a second end through which the inner part is axially insertable along an insertion axis for its detachable coupling to the outer part, said coupling element comprising a positioning device that enables the insertion of the inner part into the outer part only in a given relative positioning of the inner part relative to the outer part in a plane orthogonal to the insertion axis and that prevents rotation between the inner part and the outer part when the inner part is inserted into the outer part.
