[[File:dotcomlip.jpg|thumb|right|250px|middle|The Synthesizers.com format module has side flanges and flanges at the top and bottom.]]The width of 5U modules varies. Some manufacturers use the width of the original Moog modules (1U = 2.125"), and as such, these fall into a sub-format called [[MU]] (for Moog Unit). MU module manufacturers include [[Synthesizers.com]], [[Club Of The Knobs]], [[Krisp1 Modular Construction|Krisp1]], [[Mos-lab]], [[Moon Modular ]], [[STG Sound Lab]], and [[ModuSonics]]. Other 5U manufacturers, like [[Synthesis Technology]], [[Oakley Sound Systems]] and [[Modcan B-series]], use the slightly narrower width of 1.75". Thus, MU and 5U modules cannot be mounted in the same row in racks that use metal pre-tapped holes.<ref name="mw6598">Muff's Modules & More:[ |

Synthesizers.com use a 6 way [[MTA]] 0.100" connector to get power from the power supply to modules. Power is distributed from the power supply via a power harness which contains a number of these connectors. They sell 2 models: the small power harness has 20, the large has 40.<ref name="mw1739" /> |
