An electronic device includes a bulkhead assembly. The bulkhead assembly includes a bulkhead and one or more cable cassettes coupled to the bulkhead. The cable cassettes include floating connectors. The cable cassettes are modular assemblies that contain all the wiring and connectors. As the connectors float in the cable cassettes, the cable cassettes are blind mated to the bulkhead as standalone units.

Cable backplane assembly and method

An electronic device includes a blade having a faceplate and a handle out locked position ejector. The handle out locked position ejector is configured to secure the blade to a chassis. The handle out locked position ejector includes two ejectors and a handle binding the two ejectors together. The handle out locked position ejector extends perpendicularly from the faceplate when the blade is secured to the chassis thus locating the handle out of the way of ports of the blade.
