Abstract (en)

An assembly (10) for effecting interconnection of like gender connectors (78, 80) on the ends of existing cables (82, 84) or between a cable and an equipment panel is formed by a pair of connectors (12, 14) of the same gender terminating opposite ends of a short length of multi conductor cable (16). The connectors (12, 14) are fixed in a back-to-back condition with the cable (16) and the gap between the connector enclosed in cover members (70, 72). The thus formed assembly can be used to mate cables and equipment having connectors of like gender which must be mated.
