Device for transmitting data and / or signals

摘要

The present invention relates to an apparatus for transmitting data and / or signals between a first car body and a second car body of a multi-unit vehicle mechanically connected to the first car body. The device has an interface element (12) with at least one optical waveguide (14) as a transmission medium for a cable-bound communication system of the multi-unit vehicle. The interface element (12) is relative to a coupling head of the first car body in the coupling longitudinal direction from a first position in which the interface element (12) with the at least one optical fiber (14) is completely received in the coupling head of the first car body, in a second position and In the second position of the interface element (12), at least the front end region of the interface element (12) protrudes from the coupling head of the first car body to form a data connection between the at least one optical waveguide (14) and a contact terminal (20) of a coupling head of second car body.
