ABSTRACT:
A connector assembly for releasably interconnecting at least one cable connector connected to a respective cable to at least one module connector attached to a module. The connector assembly comprises a hollow body portion, a cable guide portion and a connector sub-assembly for mating with the cable connector and the module connector. The majority of the connector sub-assembly is placed inside the body portion. The cable guide portion is pivotally connected to the body portion of the connector assembly to permit movement of the cable guide portion between an open position in which access to manually mate or unmate the cable connector with the connector sub-assembly is provided and a closed position in which the cable guide portion prevents such access. The cable guide guides the respective cable and prevents breakage of the respective cable due to excessive bending.
