FIG. 2 is a top plan view of FIG. 1, with the seven flexible conductor cables shown in segment;

FIG. 3 is a bottom plan view of FIG. 1, with the seven flexible conductor cables shown in segment;

FIG. 4 is a front elevation view of FIG. 1, with the seven flexible conductor cables shown in segment;

FIG. 5 is a rear elevation view of FIG. 1, with the seven flexible conductor cables shown in segment;

FIG. 6 is a right elevation view of FIG. 1, with the rightmost flexible conductor cable shown in segment;

FIG. 7 is a left elevation view of FIG. 1, with the leftmost flexible conductor cable shown in segment;

FIG. 8 is a left, top and front perspective view, showing a detail of one of the RCA-style plugs, connected to an end of each of the seven flexible conductor cables;

FIG. 9 is a top plan view of FIG. 8, the bottom being a mirror image thereof;

FIG. 10 is a front elevation view of FIG. 8; and,
