An electrical connector may include a cord comprising a plurality of wires and a plug extending from the cord. The plug may include a top portion and an opposing bottom portion, which each include a plurality of contacts. The plurality of contacts on each of the top portion and opposing bottom portion may include at least two contacts with a first distance from a front portion of the plug and at least one contact with a second distance from the front of the plug. Each of the plurality of contacts on the top portion may be coupled to one of the plurality of wires and to one of the plurality of contacts on the bottom portion. The coupling may be configured to maintain a same arrangement of contacts and electrical paths to the plurality of wires when the plug is rotated one hundred eighty degrees.
