Abstract
A circuit card assembly such as an Ethernet card may comprise at least three ports disposed along a longitudinal axis of a faceplate wherein each port is orientated in a different direction with respect to an adjacent port. The ports may include an orientator configured to align a plug in a predetermined direction with respect to the port. The orientators may be disposed in a different direction with respect to a plug orientator of an adjacent port. Additionally, the mechanical connector of a first port may be partially supported by an adjacent port and, as a result, the spacing between adjacent ports may be minimized.
