CABLE CONNECTOR HOLDERS AND METHODS FOR CONNECTING AND DISCONNECTING A PLURALITY OF CABLE CONNECTORS

WIPO Patent Application WO2004097989

A3

A set of connectors (20), such as electrical or fiber-optic cable connectors, is supported on a holder body (10) to form a ganged array of cable connectors (76). The holder body includes a bearing surface for maintaining a latch release (74) of at least a first one of the cable connectors in a disengaged position to prevent it from latching when the ganged array of connectors is connected to an array of mating connectors. The holder body also defines one or more clearance regions that allow the latch release (88) of at least a second one of the cable connectors to operate, to thereby allow the second cable connector to latch when the set of cable connectors is connected to the array of mating connectors, for releasably retaining the set of cable connectors in place. Spaced-apart clearance regions may be provided for facilitating proper operation and preventing damage to cables and connectors.
