Info about the NG500 Connector:

In addition to the standard 500 series connector, the module features an extra "NG500 connector". It is designed for use with the Wes Audio TITAN chassis, to carry the Gcon information without the need for additional USB cables connected to the module. Modules with the NG500 connector can be used with almost all standard 500 series racks.
