I translate a document written in English, but somehow the list of supplied equipment is in German. Authors of the document are Germans. And I don't know the German language. A major part of the list I have translated with a dictionary, but two entries remain unclear to me.
The whole phrase is in the list of major equipment and it reads
CAN-Abschlussst. 3 pol. f.CAN-Bus IP40
It goes after another list entry with a close article number:
CAN-Kabel m. 2 Stecker
My guess is that this is a terminating device, but I am not sure. Regrettably, I am not an expert in network communications.

Note from asker:
| Great thanks, Lutz! I just was in doubt because of the neighbouring "2 Stecker". I thought: "If the cable is already equipped with connectors on both ends, why one more?" Now I suppose that this connector is for CAN cable entering the CAN bus, which is indicated by "f.CAN-bus". |
| Thanks for extended explanation. Now I see that this connector is installed on the CAN bus, and the cable is plugged with one "Stecker" into the device (controller, sensor etc.) and with the other "Stecker" into this termination connector. |
