  • the housing shell 7 is designed to at least partially surround the plug-in coupling device 1 together with an identical-part housing shell 7 . As a result, a manufacturing process of the housing shells 7 is simplified.
  • the housing shell 7 has at least one housing shell projection 7C and at least one housing shell recess 7D , wherein the housing shell projections 7C and the housing shell recesses 7D of two housing shells are adapted to engage each other to block slippage of the housing shells on the plug-in coupling device 1 .
  • FIG. 4B shows such an arrangement in which the two housing shells 7 are arranged on the plug-in coupling device and engage with each other.
  • the housing shells 7 further have a connector latching receptacle 7E , which is designed to receive the latching mechanism of a conventional RJ-45 connector.
  • the housing shells 7 form at the first and the second end in each case a connector receptacle 8, for receiving in each case an RJ-45 connector.
  • FIG. 5 shows a plug-in device 1 according to FIG. 4B with mounted screen element 9.
  • the shield element 9 is designed to protect the plug-in coupling device 1 from external electromagnetic fields and is designed as a Faraday cage, which at least partially surrounds the plug-in coupling device 1 .
  • the shield element 9 may be formed of a metal or a conductive plastic.
  • the shield element 9 can also be designed to additionally protect the plug-in coupling device 1 from damage.
  • the plug-in coupling device may have any combination of any number of features of the above-mentioned embodiments and the figures.
