Patent ID: 8858250

Claim:
A cable assembly structure, the structure comprising: a connector including: a connector body having a back end and a front end; a cam comprising a handle and an actuator spaced apart from each other and each extending perpendicularly from a shaft, the shaft is rotatably coupled to and extends perpendicularly from the back end of the connector body, and the cam is rotatable about the shaft; a wire bundle extending from and coupled to the back end of the connector body; and a pair of guidance features extending from the front end of the connector body; and a receptacle including: a receptacle body having a fixed end and an open end; and a pair of cam guides positioned on a top and a bottom surface of the receptacle, the pair of cam guides each comprising an identical channel, the receptacle is configured to receive the connector body aligned by the guidance features such that when the cam of the connector body is rotated the actuator of the cam engages with and directly contacts each identical channel of the pair of cam guides to produce a linear force in a direction parallel to an axis of the shaft sufficient to draw the connector body together with the receptacle.
