ABSTRACT:
A connector and receptacle therefor used preferably to link a number of remote devices in daisy chain fashion by the joining of a plurality of separate cable segments. The cable segments may contain electrical conductors, optical conductor fibers, or a hybrid thereof. Each cable segment ends with a connector. Each cable segment is serially linked to the next through a joining of pairs of connectors to form a unified connector. By the formation of the unified connectors, the plurality of cable segments are serially joined into what is effectively a single piece harness. Each remote device is connected to a unified connector through a receptacle which receives the unified connector. In order to secure a daisy chaining effect between remote devices, a shunt for electrically connecting similarly functioning conductors in the connectors of each unified connector may be provided in the receptacle.
