Various embodiments of a rotatable electrical connector are disclosed herein that may be disposed between a patient sensor and a patient monitor. Various embodiments of rotatable electrical connectors disclosed herein may be utilized to ameliorate some of the problems of cable management in the context of patient monitoring. In various embodiments, the rotatable electrical connector may include a sensor-side power coupling and a monitor-side electrical coupling. The sensor-side power coupling and the monitor-side electrical coupling may be configured such that one electrical coupling is rotatable with respect to the other electrical coupling. A data transmission system may transmit data gathered by a patient sensor to the patient monitor. The data transmission system may comprise a transmitter on the sensor-side connector that is configured to transmit data received from a plurality of sensors to a receiver on the monitor-side connector. Various optical and electromagnetic data transmission technologies may be utilized.
