Claim 10:
11. A coupling device, comprising:
a first connector with a first primary pin and a second primary pin, the first connector extending through a front face of the coupling device,
a second connector,
a first recess and a second recess defined in the coupling device,
wherein the first recess is configured to receive a first component selected from the group consisting of a fuse and a jumper,
