  • Patent number: 9219340
    Abstract: Disclosed is a connector cable assembly for multiple connectors comprising a base plug, an adapter plug and first and second pivot arms, so that the base plug and the adapter plug are movable between electrically engaged and electrically disengaged positions. The base plug has a first end, a second end, and first and second opposing sides with a first connector disposed in the first end of the base plug. The adapter plug has a first end, a second end, and first and second opposing sides. A first reciprocal connector disposed in the first end of the adapter plug is configured to mate with the first connector. A second connector, different than the first connector, is electrically connected to the first reciprocal connector.
