I just kind of like it. Connector inspections – something every geophysicist learns to be anal retentive about if they last long enough.

      They are mil spec outdoor connectors for signalling cables. In a geophysics context, we use them to connect a line of sensors (things like seismic sensors or similar). It’s a $200 connector on a $2000 cable.

      I’ve seen them on JCBs connecting two different wiring harnesses together, but I think they’re just general use ones designed by a particular supplier.
