Abstract:
A connector assembly for connecting to a cable, the connector assembly comprising:a connector housing including a planar surface, the planar surface defining a retaining aperture and at least one connector window lying in a first plane; a connector received in the connector window of the planar surface, the connector being slidably positionable at a first position relative to the retaining aperture and a second position relative to the retaining aperture; and a retaining element received within the retaining aperture, the retaining element being configured to retain the connector at either the first position or the second position; wherein the connector is slidable parallel to the first plane between the first position and the second position within the connector window; wherein the connector is constrained so that it slides only along one direction parallel to the planar surface; wherein the connector is constrained from rotation relative to the connector housing in both the first and second positions.
