APPARATUS, SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COMPOSITE AND SYMMETRICAL HYBRID ELECTRONIC CONNECTORS

摘要

An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for composite and symmetrical hybrid electronic connectors. Embodiments may include a composite electronic connector 1702 having a set of signals 2402, being divisible into multiple subconnectors 1802, each having a subset of the signals 2404/2408, a harness 204 that combines the subconnectors 1802, distribution 2508 of the set of signals 2402 to the subsets of the signals 2404/2408, a symmetrical electronic connector 208, being connectable in more than one orientation, a tongue 210 within the symmetrical connector 208 having more than one contacting surface 902/1002, each having a set of contacts 404/408, mapping 2512 of the signals 2402 to the contacts 404/408 so as to achieve a correct connection independent of the orientation of the symmetrical connector 208, a cable 106 between the composite connector 1702 and the symmetrical connector 208, and switching 2518 of a power signal 2402-5 on and off.

主权项

1. An apparatus comprising:
a composite electronic connector comprising a set of signals, the composite connector being divisible into multiple subconnectors, each subconnector comprising a subset of the signals; a harness that combines the subconnectors, comprising corresponding subconnector faces that mate together; and a splitter module that distributes the set of signals to the subsets of the signals wherein the splitter module comprises one or more of logic hardware and executable code, the executable code stored on one or more non-transitory computer-readable media.
