Abstract
A cable assembly comprising a hollow sleeve, an electrical conductor within the hollow sleeve, and first and second connectors on opposing ends of the electrical conductor that are fastened to opposing ends of the sleeve. The first connector is adapted to blind-mate to a corresponding connector in a cabinet backplane and the second connector is adapted to couple to an electronic device to be installed in the cabinet. Power is provided from the backplane to the electronic device via the electrical conductor. The hollow sleeve is disposed within a tunnel supported by the cabinet. The hollow sleeve has a length greater than that of the tunnel such that the first connector protrudes from a first opening of the tunnel and the second connector protrudes from a second opening of the tunnel.
