Abstract: A mechanism is provided for moving each of a plurality of second connectors (32) into engagement with each of a plurality of first connectors (31), where selective movement of the second connectors can be accomplished at a front panel (54) that is distant from the connectors. An elongated turning member (52) has a front end handle (50) that can be turned about an axis (122), with the rear of the turning member coupled to a selected one of a plurality of gear devices (61-64) that each moves a different second connector when that gear device is turned. A selector (70) that extends parallel to the turning member, has a selector front end handle (72) that can be turned to a selected position, to turn cam portions (132-135) at the rear end of the selector. Each cam portion can push a corresponding coupler (120) that can slide within a slot (134) in the turning member, so the coupler engages a cutout (124) in the gear device to thereby rotatably connect the turning member to the gear device.
