Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] RFC - Standard Thru-Hull Electrical Connector

[Jon Wallace <jonw@psubs.org>]

It might be more than that.  If we standardize on a connector and pin 
layout, then we have a means of interchanging any number of devices that 
are designed to work off of that connector spec.  I like to think of it 
similar to a USB where the pin layout and function is defined by the 
spec, but there are thousands of different devices which have been 
designed and fabricated to interface off of that one common connector.

If you have your own dedicated comm system then it is a moot point and you can use any bulkhead connector or feedthru which suits your fancy.
