A connector seating detection system includes a device having a port that includes at least one port communication contact. A connector seating sensor is located adjacent the port. A connector seating detection subsystem is coupled to the connector seating sensor. When a connector is positioned in the port while not engaging at least one port communication contact by a threshold amount, the connector seating detection subsystem receives an unseated connector signal from the connector seating sensor and, in response, generates an unseated connector indication. When a connector is positioned in the port while engaging at least one port communication contact the threshold amount, the connector seating detection subsystem receives a seated connector signal from the connector seating sensor and, in response, generates a seated connector indication.
