Abstract
Technologies are generally described for multiple individual connectors in a single connector assembly. The individual connectors may be any form-fit suitable connectors such as USB type connectors and similar ones. The connector assembly may be circular, oval, rectangular, or other shapes. Coupling between the plug and receptacle of the connector assembly may be through threads, pressure, a click-on mechanism, screws, or other compatible mechanisms. Off-the-shelf individual connectors may be fitted with a module adaptor, then inserted into an accordingly shaped inside portion of the outer shell, and held in place through a latching mechanism or similar. Alternatively, the connector assembly may be formed with the individual connectors and cabling may be added subsequently. In some examples, post retention or backshell retention may be implemented in conjunction with the plug connectors.
