Connecting cable comprising an electric plug-and-socket connection

The invention relates to a connecting cable comprising a cable with a large number of conductors, which are routed in pairs in a defined manner in the cable, with an identical electrical plug connection being arranged at both ends of the cable, with a cable manager being arranged at each of the two cable ends for fixing and defined guidance, in which cable managers the conductors of the cable are routed to the electrical contacts. The invention relates to a connecting cable () comprising a cable () with four conductor pairs () which are routed in pairs in a defined manner in the cable (), with an identical electrical plug connection being arranged at both ends of the cable (), with a cable manager () having guides () for the conductors () being arranged at each of the two cable ends for fixing and defined guidance, in which guides the conductors () of the cable () are routed to the electrical contacts (), with the cable managers () each having a top face (), a bottom face (), a rear face () and an end surface (), and with the guides () of the conductors () which are associated with the two outer contact pairs () being formed on the sides of the cable managers () at right angles to the end surfaces () of the cable managers (), and, from the rear face () to the end surface () in the first cable manager (), a first inner conductor pair () is routed from the top face () and a second inner conductor pair () is routed from the bottom face () into a connecting plane, without crossing, and, from the rear face () to the end surface () in the second cable manager (), the first inner conductor pair () is routed from the bottom face () and the second inner conductor pair () is routed from the top face () into the connecting plane, without crossing.
