ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an improved faceplate used in a connector assembly for electrical, electronic and optical applications. The faceplate has a staggered profile from the leading end to the trailing end, thereby providing a row of mating surfaces. Each successive mating surface being lower than the preceding one. At least one internal connector is disposed on each mating surface. The rear of each internal connector is connected to electrical, electronic or optical equipment. Respective external mating connectors mate with the front of each respective internal connector in a mating direction towards the faceplate. A cable is secured to each external mating connector and extends generally perpendicular with respect to the mating direction and towards the trailing end of the faceplate. The staggered profile accommodates or at least partly accommodates the cables secured to the external mating connectors.
