[sdiy] Rugged USB connectors in an XLR form factor

[Roman Sowa]

It's just a form factor for panels. I've never seen USB plug inside XLR 
shell.
If you want ruggedized connectors, try abusing Ethernet connectors, 
which are widely used in industry. Dustproof, waterproof, screw 
tightened, all that stuff is there.
