A network comprising: (a) a plurality of different receptacles for
facilitating a connection to different information networks requiring
different access authorization, each different receptacle optically or
electrically coupled to one and only one different information network,
each different receptacle having an inner surface with a unique first
geometry; and (b) a plurality of different plugs for optically or
electrically coupling with the different receptacles, each different plug
having a unique second geometry, each unique first geometry corresponds
to one, and only one, unique second geometry of a plug such that plugs
and receptacles having corresponding unique first and second geometries
are mating pairs.
