Abstract
A sliding latch release mechanism for a latched cable connector. The sliding latch release mechanism includes a fixed portion which is configured to fit securely around a latched cable connector, the latched cable connector having a latch release mechanism. The sliding latch release further includes a slideable portion which is housed within the fixed portion and is configured to move within a slot on the fixed portion. When slid back and forth, the slideable portion of the latch release mechanism engages the latch of the latched cable connector and releases the latch so the latched cable may be unplugged.
