Abstract: A system for coupling plugs and receptacles comprises a deformable base extending along an axis from a first end, through a middle portion and to a second end along a non-linear path, first connectors mounted to the base at different axial positions, a housing extending linearly from a third end to a fourth end, second connectors located on the housing at different linear positions, and a closure mechanism configured to deform the base such that each connector of the first connectors aligns with and is couplable to a corresponding connector of the second connectors. A method for coupling plugs and sockets comprises coupling a first plug extending from a base to a first socket located in a housing, aligning a second plug extending from the base with a second socket located in the housing, and flexing the base to bring the second plug into engagement with the second socket.
