A strain relief device for at least one supply line. The strain relief device can be or is disposed on a line-guiding apparatus for guiding the at least one supply line and has at least one main body, which comprises at least one coupling means for the fastening of the at least one supply line to said coupling means and thus to the strain relief device in such a way that strain is relieved. At least one preferably flexible coupling element is provided, which can be disposed so as to peripherally surround the coupling means and the line to be fixed on the coupling means and which surrounds the line together with the coupling means in the form of a loop. There are fastening means on the main body for fastening the main body to the strain relief device in such a way that tensile force is absorbed. A guide element having a guide region for the coupling element is provided adjacent to the at least one coupling means. The guide region is designed to guide the coupling element as the coupling element is transferred from a position at a distance from the coupling means to the position of the coupling element in which the coupling element fastens the supply line to the coupling means in such a way that strain is relieved.

A modular system for plug connector modules for producing plug connector units, and to at least one first housing frame for receiving a plurality of plug connector modules within the housing frame. Each housing frame has two parallel longitudinal side walls, which define the frame width of the housing frame, and perpendicularly thereto two parallel narrow side walls, which define the frame height of the housing frame. According to the invention: i) the frame width is an integer multiple of the frame height, optionally plus joint play; ii) the longitudinal side walls and the narrow side walls have connection elements for form-fitting connection, wherein in each case a connection element of a longitudinal side wall corresponds to a connection element of a narrow side wall; and iii) on each longitudinal side wall a plurality of connection elements are arranged at a grid distance which corresponds to the frame height, optionally plus joint play, along the frame width. A plurality of housing frames can thus be connected to one another in a modular manner on the basis of their connection elements so as to form a plug connector unit.
