Abstract:
The disclosed apparatus may include a rack-side support structure dimensioned to hold a two-sided port interface with a rack-side mating end and an adapter-side mating end. The rack-side mating end may be configured to interface with supply cables, and the adapter-side mating end may be configured to interface with an opposite adapter-side mating end of another port interface. The apparatus may also include a device-side support structure dimensioned to hold a two-sided port interface including an opposing adapter-side mating end and a device-side mating end. The opposing adapter-side mating end may be configured to interface with the adapter-side mating end of the rack-side's port interface, and the device-side mating end may interface with cables that connect to the electronic devices. The rack-side support structure may be configured to interlock with the device-side support structure to connect to the electronic devices. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
