Abstract
A receptacle assembly includes multiple receptacle guide frames configured to be coupled to a host board. Each receptacle guide frame has a front end and a back end. A receptacle extends from the front end to the back end of each receptacle guide frame. Each receptacle has an open end positioned at the front end of the receptacle guide frame and a closed end positioned at the back end of the receptacle guide frame. Each receptacle guide frame is configured to be aligned with an opening in a panel so that the receptacle is accessible through the opening. A host board connector is positioned at the closed end of each receptacle. Each host board connector includes a mating face. Each receptacle guide frame is aligned with the opening in the panel so that the mating face of each host board connector is positioned at a non-orthogonal angle with respect to the panel.
