Interchangeable cable connection system
First Claim
1. An electrical connection device for electrically connecting an electronic component of the type having a plurality of electrical connection points, said electrical connection device comprising:
- an electrical cable extending between first and second ends, at least one of the ends including an interface plug having a first housing with a first set of internal contacts in electrical communication with the electrical cable, the first housing extending laterally beyond the first set of internal contacts such that the first set of internal contacts are internally within the first housing; and
at least one connector adapter including a first end configured for connection to the interface plug and a second end defining an electrical connector, the at least one connector adapter including a second housing extending laterally beyond a second set of internal contacts such that the second set of internal contacts are internally within the second housing and configured to conductively engage the first set of internal contacts such that the electrical connector is in electrical communication with the electrical cable.
