Abstract

A signal/power distribution device (10) having a geometrically optimized form factor for a given set of design constraints. Geometric optimization is achieved through use of form factors such as the Platonic or Archimedean solids, or hexagonal prism forms. Other aspects of optimization are also disclosed, such as switch (20) and cord (18) placement with respect to these geometries so as to minimize interference with the geometric optimization, as well as receptacle or connector outlet (16) placement with respect to surfaces of the geometric form factors to optimize available space for plug-ins and minimize the potential for interference with cords (18) or other umbilical features of the plug-ins. In a preferred embodiment, a signal/power distribution device is provided having a multiple-surface receptacle arrangement allowing each plug-in to engage the device in its own plane or surface.
