A connector assembly for mating with a multi-port electrical connector includes a shielded housing having a plurality of discrete shielded plug chambers and a plurality of plugs received in corresponding plug chambers. Each of the plugs are shielded from one another by the shielded housing, and the plugs are configured for simultaneous mating with the multi-port electrical connector, wherein each plug is received in a different port of the electrical connector. The connector assembly also includes a latch assembly coupled to the shielded housing. The latch assembly engages the shielded housing and is configured to engage the multi-port electrical connector to electrically common the shielded housing and the multi-port electrical connector.
