1. An electrical plug for connecting a cable to a plug receptacle, the electrical plug comprising:
a housing which substantially surrounds a plug-in area and a cable area;
an insulator sleeve constructed of an electrically insulating material which substantially surrounds a channel extending from the plug-in area to the cable area for receiving an inner conductor element;
a support sleeve which substantially surrounds the insulator sleeve connected mechanically with the insulator sleeve in the plug-in area and is connected mechanically with the housing in the cable area;
a first cavity located substantially between the insulator sleeve and the support sleeve and configured to receive an outer conductor element; and
a second cavity which substantially surrounds the support sleeve in the plug-in area and configured to receive a shield element of the plug receptacle a latching spring for connecting with a latch member of the plug receptacle; and a securing element locking together the inner conductor element and the housing of the plug.
