Abstract: A method provides an improved adaptor. The method involves connecting a set of conductors to (i) a set of circuit board connector contacts of a circuit board connector and (ii) a set of switchbox connector contacts of a switchbox connector. The method further involves fastening a circuit board connector housing of the circuit board connector to a switchbox connector housing of the switchbox connector, and shrink wrapping a coating over the set of conductors to physically insulate the set of conductors using the coating and the housings of the circuit board connector and the switchbox connector.

Abstract: A technique for providing an adaptor involves connecting a set of conductors to a set of circuit board connector contacts of a circuit board connector and a set of switchbox connector contacts of a switchbox connector. Additionally, the technique involves fastening a circuit board connector housing of the circuit board connector to a switchbox connector housing of the switchbox connector. Furthermore, the technique involves applying insulation against the circuit board connector housing and the switchbox connector housing such that the insulation, in combination with the circuit board connector housing and the switchbox connector housing, physically insulates the set of conductors.

Abstract: A connection system includes a multi-port switch, multiple adaptors and multiple cable assemblies. The multi-port switch includes a primary port, multiple secondary ports, and a controller that is configured to connect the primary port individually to the multiple secondary ports. Each adaptor mates with a secondary port of the multi-port switch and includes (i) a circuit board connector having a set of circuit board connector contacts, (ii) a switchbox connector having a set of switchbox connector contacts, (iii) a fastener which physically fastens the circuit board connector of that adaptor and the switchbox connector of that adaptor together, and (iv) a set of conductors that electrically connects the set of circuit board connector contacts with the set of switchbox connector contacts. Each cable assembly includes a first circuit board connector for mating with an adaptor, and a second circuit board connector for connecting with a circuit board.
