Abstract:
Cabling arrangements or associated components can be provided that use plugs and sockets for connection. A locking mechanism can secure a plug in a seated configuration in a socket. A handle may be operable to disengage the locking mechanism, for example, to facilitate removal of the plug from the socket. A tab can be provided that is configured for detachably coupling with the handle. The tab can be configured to detach from the handle in response to a detachment force exerted on the tab that is less than a disengagement force that is sufficient when exerted on the handle to disengage the locking mechanism.
