Abstract: According to an example embodiment of the invention, a configurable printed circuit board (PCB) includes one or more separable portions for supporting modules for interfacing with the PCB. The separable portions extend from an edge portion of a main body of the PCB, and are disposed between the main body of the PCB and a protective portion. A scored portion is provided at a boundary between the main body of the PCB and the separable portions, the separable portions being separable by being broken off from the main body of the PCB at the scored portion. According to an example embodiment of the invention, a method of configuring a PCB having one or more separable portions of the PCB includes securing the PCB and separating the one or more separable portions of the PCB from another portion of the PCB.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for managing cables and cable connectors include the use of a first cable jack having a first height and second cable jack adjacent to the first cable jack and having a second height that is different than the first height of the first cable jack. Methods and apparatus for managing cables and cable connectors also include the use of a first cable plug having a first height and a second cable plug adjacent to the first cable plug and having a second height that is different than the first height of the first cable plug. In these various ways, the present invention contemplates a first cable connector assembly having a first height and a second cable connector assembly adjacent to the first cable connector assembly and having a second height that is different that the first height of the first cable connector assembly.
