Abstract
The invention relates to a universal assembly for connecting a processing terminal to a data transmission network. This assembly is constituted by a female connector (15) and a male connector (18). The female connector has two groups of connection terminals (28, 29) connected to ends of lines of network cable sections (7, 8). The male connector (18) is connected to a connection cable (5) of the terminal and has connection terminals (21) respectively entering into contact with a group of terminals (28, 29) of the female connector. This assembly also has, in the female connector, electrical, mobile linking means (35) retractable on inserting the male connector (18) in order to ensure the continuity of the communications on the network, prior to insertion and for ensuring the connection of the terminal to the network after insertion. Means are provided for ensuring the continuity of the earth or ground shields of the terminals of the male and female connectors and the shields of the cables. The invention has particular application to the connection of terminals to telephone and computer networks.
