Abstract
Embodiments herein include a connector coupling arranged to mate and/or unmate first and second connectors. The connector coupling includes a first collar having one or more locking members, a second collar arranged to receive the first collar, the second collar being rotatable relative to the first collar, and a locking mechanism. The connector coupling is moveable in a mating direction to mate the first and second connectors and an unmating direction to unmate the connectors. The locking mechanism is disengaged when the connector coupling is moved in a mating direction. For example, the locking mechanism may be moveable from a first engaged position to a first disengaged position when the connector coupling is moved in the mating direction. As another example, the locking mechanism may remain disengaged until the connectors are fully mated.
