Definitions

  • the invention relates to a securing device for a connector according to the preamble of claim 1, and a connector system with such a securing device.
  • the RJ-45 connector is a standard for connectors in communication and data networks that is standardized and used worldwide in accordance with IEC 60'603-7.
  • Such a connector comprises a plug and a socket.
  • the socket is usually arranged in a socket, a rack, or a so-called patch panel.
  • a disadvantage of the known plug connectors or universal building cabling is the fact that unintentional loosening / loosening of the same connection problems or network errors occur. Correcting such network errors causes costs, inconvenience, and in extreme cases can lead to the breakdown of entire computer systems. It is therefore of central importance to ensure a reliable, secure plug connection.
  • the dependent claims 2 to 9 relate to further advantageous developments of the safety devices according to the invention.
  • This object is further achieved by a connector system with the features of claim 10.
  • the object is achieved in particular by a securing device for a plug connection, the plug of which comprises an unlocking tab which forms a detachable connection with the socket, the securing device having a sleeve-shaped housing which can be fastened with fastening means in front of the socket, and the housing in this way the plug connection is designed such that, when a plug is inserted into the socket, the end of the unlocking tab protruding from the socket comes to lie completely within the housing, and that the housing has an opening for introducing an unlocking means which is adapted in this way with respect to the position of the unlocking tab that is arranged with one in this
  • the unlocking tab is displaceable and thereby the plug connection is detachable.
  • a socket equipped with the securing device according to the invention has the advantage that an unlocking means, e.g. in the form of a key, is required to disconnect the connector. This prevents unintentional and / or unauthorized disconnection.
  • the unlocking means e.g. a key, for example, can only be assigned to authorized persons, so that the plug connection is operated with the appropriate care and expertise.
  • the securing device according to the invention has the further advantage that existing plug sockets can be upgraded very simply and quickly in order to enable the existing plug connector, such as an RJ-45 plug connector, to be locked. This allows to significantly improve the security of a network or a UGV with low additional costs.
  • the safety device has a housing which is fastened in front of the socket.
  • the plug has an unlocking tab, which forms a detachable connection with the socket.
  • the housing is designed in such a way that the unlocking tab lies completely inside the housing when the plug is inserted into the socket.
  • the housing is designed such that the unlocking tab cannot be operated without a special tool or key.
  • the housing has a keyhole into which a correspondingly adapted key can be inserted.
  • the keyhole is arranged in the housing and the key is designed in such a way that when the key is actuated, the unlocking tab is displaced, as a result of which the plug connection is released and the plug can be pulled out of the socket.

  • Fig. 1 1 another safety device
  • Fig. 14a, 14b, 14c differently designed key beards.
  • a key is generally understood below to mean a tool which interacts with an opening or a keyhole 2d.
  • Fig. 1 shows a socket 1 with interior 1 a, housing 1 b and electrical connection or wiring part 1c.
  • the socket 1 is usually a standardized component.
  • the socket 1 shown is part of an RJ-45 connector.
  • the detailed structure of the socket 1 is generally known.
  • the socket 1 is e.g. embedded in a front plate 1 d, which has four openings 1 e, which serve as snap-in openings.

  • the plug 3 is connected to a cable 4.
  • Fig. 2 also shows the position of the plug 3 shortly before insertion into the
  • Safety device 2 or into the socket 1.
  • the plug 3 is inserted into the socket 1, the unlocking tab 3b, as shown in longitudinal section in FIGS. 6 and 7, wedged in a manner known per se with a retaining lug 1f arranged in the socket 1 , The plug 3 is thus securely held in the socket 1.
  • the connection to the retaining lug 1 f can be released again by depressing the unlocking tab 3 b, and the plug 3 can be pulled out of the socket 1.
  • the housing 2a is designed such that it is adapted with respect to the unlocking tab 3b in such a way that the unlocking tab 3b is arranged entirely within the housing 2a when the plug 3 is connected to the socket 1.
  • the unlocking tab 3b is not directly accessible from the outside and therefore cannot be actuated directly.
  • a key 5 is inserted into the keyhole 2d of the securing device 2 in the direction of movement 5a.
  • the key 5 comprises a key bit 5b, a connecting shaft 5c, a bearing part 5d, a connecting part 5e and a handle 5f.
