Zusammenfassung:	The subject matter disclosed herein describes a system for connecting devices (20, 50) mounted to and within an industrial enclosure (10). The conductors (40) for a device (20) having multiple electrical conductors (40) are bundled together. A first color coded element, such as a sleeve (70), is slid over the bundle providing a first identifier. The ends of the conductors (40) are terminated at a single plug (90) for insertion into a receptacle (63). A second color coded element, such as a label (80), which corresponds to the first color coded element (70), identifies into which receptacle (63) each plug (90) is to be inserted. In addition, each pole of the plug (90) and/or receptacle (63) includes a key (140) or a corresponding space (145) to receive a key (140). Various combinations of keys (140) and spaces (145) are defined such that each plug (90) may be inserted into a single receptacle (63).
