An electronic device includes a bulkhead assembly. The bulkhead assembly includes a bulkhead and one or more cable cassettes coupled to the bulkhead. The cable cassettes include floating connectors. The cable cassettes are modular assemblies that contain all the wiring and connectors. As the connectors float in the cable cassettes, the cable cassettes are blind mated to the bulkhead as standalone units.
