I knew they had a use somewhere. Now, what about all the T-connectors
for twinax cards? Maybe hang them like Christmas icicles?
Heh, heh.
Once, long ago and far away, a customer of mine reorganized their
office. I ended up there when some of their System/36 terminals did not
work after the reorganization.
Objecting to the obvious waste of running twinax cable down from the
ceiling to the T-connector and then back up to the ceiling again, they
had put the T-connector at the ceiling and then run just one ordinary
black twinax cable down to the back of the terminal. This surpised me,
because I had not thought that the connection between a T-connector and
the terminal was physically compatible with a twinax connector.
They explained that the only thing stopping the connection was a small
key in the connection, and--just on the other side of that partition
there--they had a whole manufacturing plant filled with the world's
finest machine tools.
Cheers,
Terry.
