Abstract

A junction box for shielded cable, such as data transmission cable comprising, a housing having an upper part and lower metal part which, in the assembled state, are in electrically conductive contact with each other, a PCB (25) installed in the housing, at least one jack (28) located in the housing, connected to the PCB (25) and having connecting means for connecting the wires of at least one shielded cable in a conductive manner to the PCB (25), said characterized in that the PCB (25) and at least one jack (28) being located in the upper part (2) of the housing, and connecting means for the wires (52) of the cables (50) comprising a loading block (14), into which the wires (52) can be introduced and which can be inserted into the lower part (1), and insulation displacement contacts (24), which are mounted in the upper part (2) and are connected to the PCB (25), and which, when the lower part (1) is joined to the upper part (2), pass through the loading block (14) and contact the wires (52).
