A plug-in device system has a closure unit blocking access to a first plug-in device element, for example a socket. The closure unit includes a rotary bezel which is coupled via a coupling to at least one shutter such that the rotation of the bezel effects a movement of the shutter from a closed position in an open position. Preferably, a locking assembly is additionally provided, which blocks movement of the rotary bezel and/or shutter in the closed position as long as no pressure is applied to the shutter. In addition, a safety device can be provided, which prevents the shutter from opening when a direct force is applied.

A plug assembly with strain relief includes a housing and a clamping basket which has radially movable clamping fingers. The clamping basket defines an axis and is constructed to allow insertion of a cable into the housing in a direction of the axis. A rotary sleeve is supported on the housing for rotation but substantially fixed in an axial position with respect to the housing. The rotary sleeve is hereby configured to move an element (e.g. the clamping basket itself, or a pinch ring) in the axial direction, when rotated, to thereby modify a radial position of the clamping fingers.
