Abstract
An electrical data distribution system includes a housing with two end surfaces and at least six low profile side surfaces. The two end surfaces have an absence of connector cut-outs, and each of the side surfaces has at least one connector cut-out. At least one multi-pin electrical feed connector is disposed within a corresponding one of the cut-outs in a corresponding one of the side surfaces. Each feed connector is configured for connection with a multi-conductor data feed cable. A plurality of multi-pin electrical break-out connectors are associated with a plurality of the side surfaces. Each pin in each break-out connector is electrically connected with one of the pins in a corresponding feed connector. Each break-out connector is disposed within a corresponding one of the cut-outs. The break-out connectors are disposed on different side surfaces than each feed connector. Each break-out connectors is configured for connection with a workstation.
