Abstract: A system and method for providing an electrical and mechanical connection which includes a housing having a face, an electrical connector mounted to the housing and configured to engage with a second electrical connector, a receiver connected to the housing and encompassing at least part of the electrical connector and bolt housing mounted on a side of the housing opposite the face and aligned with the holes.

Abstract: A communications device is provided that includes a router and a local interface. The communications device also supports a plurality of remote interfaces. The remote interfaces are daisy-chain wired to the communications device and a plurality of communications devices may be operably connected to each other using an Internet Protocol network to form a communications system. The communications system may be used as part of a nurse call system. Also, methods that may be implemented by the above device and system are provided.

Abstract: A system and method for providing an electrical and mechanical connection. The electrical connector includes a plug having a housing, a key attached to the housing, the key is configured to mate with a key slot located on a mating receptor, a groove running along an outer periphery of the housing and configured to communicate with a plurality of receivers that are located in a circular discontinuous manner on the mating receptor, the plurality of receivers comprise a ridge that mates with the groove, a first electrical contact attached to the housing and a second electrical contact attached to the housing on a side opposite the first electrical contact and in electrical communication with the first electrical contact.

Abstract: A system and method for providing an electrical and mechanical connection is provided. The system and method include features that permit two connectors to mate with each other at a specific attitude and maintain both a mechanical and an electrical connection under a variety of conditions including bumping of the connection under everyday situations. A predetermined level of force acting to separate the two connectors will cause the connectors to separate without causing substantial damage to the connector.
