Abstract

A universal cable and system are provided that includes a universal cable and miniature quick connectors with interchangeable ends. The system allows for easy construction of various desired cable configurations that may include USB and Firewire(R) computer architecture, and other electrical communication wiring schemes. As a result, electrical connection between computers, computer peripherals, and other electrical equipment is quickly accomplished without a need for many cables and connectors, and their associated added costs. Universal cabling methods for using the system and cables are also provided.
