  • assembly is disadvantageously made more difficult, since when producing the strain relief and/or the shield contact it can happen that individual line cores slip out of the wiring block.
  • subsequent production of the strain relief and/or shield contact can result in disadvantageous changes in the transmission properties.
  • the object of the invention consists in particular in providing a generic device with improved properties with regard to assembly.
