A rotatable electrical coupling comprising a male connector having at least one electrical contact member for conducting or transmitting a supply current or a low-frequency control signal, and a further electrical contact member for conducting or transmitting a high-frequency and/or a high-speed data signal. The coupling further comprises a female connector for receiving the male connector such that the male connector is adapted for rotation relative to the female connector. The female connector includes complementary electrical contact members configured to maintain uninterrupted electrical contact with each of the respective contact members of the male connector throughout a relative rotational movement between the male and female connectors preferably at least about 180°. An electrical connector for such a rotatable electrical coupling, as well as a swivel or pivot joint of a mounting arm for supporting or suspending technical equipment, wherein the joint incorporates such an electrical coupling.
