Abstract
In embodiments, systems and apparatus comprise a bracket having a through hole configured to receive a first connector connected to a panel spaced from the bracket, the bracket movable between first and second positions; a switch mountable on the panel, the switch having first and second switch positions; and at least one compression spring extending from the bracket to bias the bracket into the first position spaced away from the switch. When the bracket is in the first position, the switch is in the first switch position, and when the bracket is in the second position, the bracket engages and actuates the switch into the second switch position. The bracket is movable into the second position to engage and actuate the switch by coupling a second connector to the first connector. The switch is configured to trigger a signal indicating that the first connector is connected to the second connector.
