Abstract
A device for signal transmission between two terminals, having at least one cable ( ) accommodated in an essentially circular cartridge (K) and positioned between the terminals. At least one of the two terminals is movable relative to the other. The cartridge (K) comprises a rotor ( ) rotatable around its axis (A) and a fixed stator ( ), which together delimit an acceptance space ( ) serving to accept the cable ( ). To allow the utilization of cables ( ) of varying widths, a compensation body ( ) with variable axial height is applied to at least one of the surfaces of the rotor ( ) or stator ( ) bordering the acceptor space ( ). For a constant axial height (H) of the acceptor space ( ) of the cartridge (K) and a variable axial height of the cable ( ), the axial height of the compensation body ( ) is dimensioned in such a way that the free space remaining between the cable ( ) and the rotor ( ) and/or stator ( ) of the cartridge (K) in the axial direction is essentially filled by the compensation body ( ).
