Abstract
A method and guide are provided that facilitate the installation and removal of cabling in hard-to-reach locations using a holder to maintain the relative locations of a cable and cable-side connectors and a handle that slides with respect to the holder. The handle may be used to move the cable and cable-side connectors into position with respect to board-side PDB connectors within a chassis. With further downward movement or insertion of the handle, the connectors are then mated. With the handle in a fully downward, inserted, or otherwise latched position with respect to the holder, raised sections of the handle prevent latching teeth or hooks on the cable-side connector from becoming disengaged from the PDB board-side connector, thereby maintaining the connection of the PDB connectors. Uninstallation is the reverse of installation with a single movement of the sliding handle both unlatching and disconnecting the connections.
