Abstract
An Ethernet plug connector for a motor vehicle to be plugged together along a plug-in direction with a mating plug connector. The Ethernet plug connector includes a plug connector housing having at least two contact chambers and a shield plate. A contact element is situated in each contact chamber, a counter contact element being pluggable into each contact element. A line is attached to each contact element at its rear end with respect to the plug-in direction. The lines attached to the contact element are combined in a rear section with respect to the plug-in direction to form an Ethernet cable and are enclosed by a shield conductor, the shield plate enclosing the predominant part of the plug connector housing. The shield plate includes a connector, using which it is electrically connected to the shield conductor of the Ethernet cable.
