Abstract:
A connector for multiple diverse electrical conductors comprising:a housing having a front face including a height extending along a first axis and a width extending along a second axis, said housing first and second axes being orthogonal;a first connector having at least one electrically conductive terminal and at least one electrically conductive pin, said at least one electrically conductive pin in communication with said at least one electrically conductive terminal, said first connector defining an opening in said front face, said first connector having a height extending along a first axis and a width less than said first connector height extending along a second axis, said first connector first and second axes being orthogonal;a second connector having at least one electrically conductive terminal and at least one electrically conductive pin, said at least one electrically conductive pin in communication with said at least one electrically conductive terminal, said second connector defining an opening in said front face, said second connector having a height extending along a first axis and a width greater than said second connector height extending along a second axis, said second connector first and second axes being orthogonal;wherein said first connector first axis is orthogonal to said second connector first axis and parallel to said front face first axis; andwherein said front face occupies an area and wherein said area is substantially the same as that occupied by a female RJ-45 connector.
