A specification is given of an OWG plug-in system for multimedia devices comprising a first OWG plug connector (,) with a mechanically releasable connector (,) and a mating connector (,), the said OWG plug connector being arranged in proximity to a multimedia device, a second OWG plug connector (,) with an OWG connector (,) and a printed circuit board (,), this second OWG plug connector (,) being arranged in an electromagnetically compatible region of the multimedia device and containing at least one active element, and at least one OWG cable (,), with an OWG connector (,) at each end, one OWG connector (,) of which can be fixed into the first OWG plug connector (,) and the other OWG connector (,) of which can be fixed into the second OWG plug connector (,), in each case without play, the active element being arranged in a manner centred with respect to the OWG connector (,) in the second OWG plug connector (,).

Optical waveguide plug-in system for multimedia devices

This invention relates to a multiplex control of components and subsystems in motor vehicles having: a central electronic control unit and multiplex bus electronic units (3) associated with each component and each subsystem. The multiplex bus electronic units (3) are incorporated in the casings (2) of the connectors, the same having on the component side (2b) the requisite number of contacts and on the back a four-pole multiplex connector (1, 2a) for two signal lines and two power lines.
