Photos of Device
The sensors are semiconductor devices with three pins:
...
The sensor cables connect to the base via a custom cable, with an RJ-45 (ethernet) connector on one end and the sensors on the other. The base unit allows four sensor cables to be attached to it (with multiple sensors on each cable, like the one shown here).
...
For the cable shown here a Winchester connector was used to allow the sensor section to be easily separated from the ethernet cable section. We will likely employ the same scheme for KPF.
...
Note how the sensors can branch off the ‘main line', and also branch off the ‘branches’.

Sensor Name Look-up Tables
Each sensor has a unique ID that is used by the LinkHub-E base. The IDs are not easily remembered so we’ll want a look-up table to tie the sensor IDs to a KPF sensor location.
