cable receptical or socket
Without a glossery or an illustration, it can be pretty hard to tell just what you do have. In any case, "dose" would refer to the female side of a connection. So take your pick. I like socket.

cable outlet
cable socket and cable box are also OK

Have a look at the reference site - this is definitely a connector. 'Cable socket' may technically correct, but it is ambiguous (is it a socket on a cable or a socket for a cable? And what if it's a plug instead of a socket?).
'cable connector' is a good alternative (see the second ref for example)

sorry, I got a bit carried away in my previous answer: if it's a cable plug, the German is 'Kabelstecker'. Also, 'cable receptacle' isalso OK.
Something went wrong...
