I disagree. The connector appears to be a hard metric connector by Harting. These types of connectors are common with VME and CompactPCI. The faceplate is also common with plug-in modules.

Guess I'm not up on my Harting devices. What does all that mean, with respect to this context, and how does that make that horrible-looking connector any better?
