Abstract
A medical connector and adapter system that includes: a male cable connector, and a female cable-receiving housing for electrically coupling with the male cable connector. The male cable connector has a keying protrusion that corresponds to a keying channel in the cable-receiving housing. The keying feature prevents the male cable connector from being installed into a cable-receiving housing that does not have a keying channel.
