Abstract:
1. A cable for transmitting signals, comprising: a plurality of leads; an electrically conductive end piece fixedly provided on an internal conductor of each lead, at least one end piece including a first latch; a coupler having a body formed of one piece from an insulating material and having a longitudinal axis; wherein the body includes parallel feed-throughs, electrically isolated from each other, that accommodate the end pieces, at least one feed-through including a second latch arranged as an integral component of the body; wherein the end piece is inserted into the feed-through such that the first latch cooperates with the second latch to lock the end piece and the body; and wherein the body includes a first surface and a second surface arranged as a guide for a mating piece of the coupler, the first surface having a radially outwardly directed normal vector and the second surface having a radially inwardly directed normal vector; and wherein a lead is axially secured in form-locking manner by a secondary latching element that engages at the end piece by a shift of the secondary latching element in a tangential and orthogonal direction to the longitudinal axis without intersecting it.
