Patent ID: 8475055

Claim:
A connector for simultaneously connecting optical fibers and copper conductors, comprising two connector parts, namely a receptable connector part and a plug connector part, the plug connector part fitting into the receptable connector part during mating said two connector parts, one of said two connector parts being assigned to a first cable, in which first optical fibers, branched off from a second cable by means of a furcation adapter, and first copper conductors, likewise branched off from said second cable, are run, the other of said two connector parts being assigned to a third cable, in which second optical fibers and second copper conductors are run, it being possible for the first optical fibers and the second optical fibers as well as the first copper conductors and the second copper conductors to be connected by fitting the two connector parts together during mating, and a hollow-like cutout with a contour that is adapted to the contour of the second cable being respectively formed both on an underside of a housing of the receptable connector part and on an underside of a housing of the plug connector part.
