A type of hermaphroditic electrical or data connector where both ends are identical — each plug can connect to another of the same type without needing a 'male' or 'female' designation. In tech circles, UDC pops up in discussions of industrial wiring, military-spec connectors, and certain AV setups. The appeal is obvious: no fumbling to figure out orientation, just plug in either way. Elegant engineering in three letters.
The cable harness used UDC connectors throughout so the technicians could swap ends without worrying about polarity.
