      We use them at work. They are quite handy, as the can transfer different amounts of power, data and pneumatic as well as optical signal.

        So you’re saying I can use these for blood vessels, oxygen, nervous system and actuators when I finally built a transhuman protogen body???

        Pneumatics!!?? What is the point of integrating everything like this? Can I use these cables as a garden hose as well?

          For Industrial cells. its great to make the cells modular, for example, you have a universal trayloading cell and a process specific cell. You can just use the universal trayloading cell for every other process specific cell without changing anything on the hardware as its just plug and go (And teach in but oh well). No unplugging pneumatic hoses somewhere in the middle of machine

      I used to work in industrial automation. The Fanuc robots used Harting connectors. The dark grey metal housing/connector is basically a tough quick-connect for electrical cables.

      For the Fanuc robots, they would provide power and position information for the servo motors. Sometimes one housing would serve more than one servo motor.

      I haven’t seen anything like in OP’s picture but I can see how the modular internal connections could be a wiring nightmare.
