An accessory mounting interface for a firearm, and a related method, are disclosed. The interface has a firearm accessory, a first elongated fastener, and a second fastener rotationally mated to the first elongated fastener. The first elongated fastener has right-handed threading and is arranged through a through hole in the firearm accessory with a first end extending below first and second halves of a first slot protrusion of the firearm accessory. The second fastener has a length greater than a width, the length measured along a longitudinal axis of the second fastener, the second fastener having a plurality of straight edges. At least one of the plurality of straight edges prevents the second fastener from rotating further than a closed position when the at least one of the straight edges abuts a sidewall of an elongated slot in the firearm.

Disclosed are implementations of a cable management device. An example cable management device can be attached to the handguard of a firearm, and used to route an electrical cable (or wire) connecting a remote switch to a firearm accessory, such as a flashlight. An example cable management device comprises: a body portion that includes a cable guide channel configured to receive therein a portion of an electrical cable; an elongated threaded fastener that includes a countersunk head; and a pivot fastener. The body portion is configured so that the countersunk head of the elongated threaded fastener can capture the portion of the electrical cable positioned within the cable guide channel. In some implementations, the body portion includes two cable guide channels, each of which is configured to receive therein a portion of an electrical cable.

An electronic system for a firearm includes a power source, one or more electrical conductors electrically connected to receive power from the power source, and a plurality of electronic devices. Each electronic device has an electrical input configured to receive power from the one or more electrical conductors to power the electronic device. A communication device is configured for data communication across the one or more electrical conductors. In some embodiments data can be communicated at rates greater than 10 Mbps. Some embodiments utilize multi-frequency encoding, such as orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing. Some embodiments include a data communication device with a lower data communication rate and another data communication device with a higher data communication rate, and can selectively communicate through either data communication device. A method of communicating between electronic devices connected to a firearm includes powering a plurality of electronic devices connected to a firearm from a power source through one or more electrical conductors, and communicating data between the plurality of electronic devices across the one or more electrical conductors.
