Anyone know offhand what type this connector is? I'm sure I've seen this type of thing somewhere before but can't figure out what it is.

@RealGene aaaa that's it thank you so much! It even says they're available in 4x quadrax so that's the one. How did you ever find that?

Google Assistant. It has a "circle the thing" tool, which returns an AI summary (usually wrong or incomplete) and matching images. It actually matched to an image in a PDF hosted on Tom's Hardware, which was a product brochure from Smiths Interconnect / Molex.
