  • the socket 11 has at least one electrical or optical connection 12 which is connected to at least one of the electrical contact elements 8, 9 or to the optical contact element 10 of the connection pin 3. Since the plug 1 in in Fig. 5 example shown in the same electrically conductive layers 5, 6 and in the same photoconductive layer 7 of the carrier body 4 are pierced, the devices G are connected to each other via the carrier body 4.
  • the carrier body 4 could have more than two electrically conductive layers 5, 6 and / or more than one light-conducting layer 7.
  • the carrier body 4 could be formed symmetrically to a center plane, which is parallel to the electrical layers 5, 6, so that the plug 1 can be inserted on opposite sides of the carrier body 4 in this.
  • Fig. 6 shows a further combination of a carrier body 4, in which a plug 1 is inserted.
  • the plug 1 can be screwed to the carrier body 4 by means of a screw SC.
  • the plug 1 hangs down from the carrier body 4, ie the plug 1 is arranged in the direction of gravity on the carrier body 4.
  • a ceiling of a room, attached, in particular glued be.
  • the plug 1 can also have a fastening hook H, to which the device G to be connected to the plug 1, for example a luminous element, can be suspended.
  • Fig. 6 also shows a separate to the carrier body 4 and the plug 1 Control unit C, which is provided for connection to the carrier body 4 and for feeding electrical or optical signals into the carrier body 4 or for receiving electrical or optical signals from the carrier body 4.
  • the connection can be made via a connected to the control unit C and connectable to the carrier body 4 feed device E.
  • the feed device E can have electrical connections E1, E2 for connection to the electrically conductive layers 5, 6 of the carrier body 4 and / or an optical connection E3 for connection to the light-conducting layer 7 of the carrier body 4.
  • the control unit C may have a memory C1 for addresses and control information for the individually controllable devices G.
  • the control unit C can be designed, in particular, for feeding control signals containing the addresses and the control information into the feed device E, ie into the electrical layers 5, 6, but preferably into the light-conducting layer 7 of the carrier body 4.
  • the control unit C contains the information necessary for the individual control of the devices G or the control units 13 and makes this information available to the carrier body 4.
  • the control information contained in the memory C1 may include a power-on command, a power-off command or data for the devices G.
  • the control unit C expediently has a processing unit C2, for example a microprocessor, and input means in order to be able to enter or store the address information or the control information in the control unit C.
  • the control unit C favorably has a unit C3 for generating the electric and optical signals to be fed into the carrier body 4 and / or a receiving device C4 for light signals.
