An electrical interface panel connects plural input connectors, or jacks, to plural output connectors such as in an asynchronous signal router as used with a computer-based global information network, such as the Internet. The interface panel includes a closed housing to which are attached plural SCSI multi-port connectors and either plural RJ45 multi-port connectors or plural D-sub connectors. In one embodiment, the SCSI multi-port connectors are connected to either the RJ45 mult-port connectors or D-sub connectors by a printed circuit (PC) board having appropriate sets of pinouts. In another embodiment, the SCSI connectors are connected to either the RJ45 or D-sub connectors by a pair of electrical cables. The connectors are disposed in and mounted to opposed walls of the housing, with the PC board or cables disposed within the closed housing to provide a compact, easily installed, point-to-point asynchronous signal router.
