Abstract
A connection assembly (100) includes a base structure (110); a backplane (120) coupled to the base structure (110), the backplane (120) including a first circuit board (122); and a tray module (140) configured to couple to the backplane (120). The tray module (140) includes a tray body (160) including a second circuit board (162); and a bridge member (150) to which the tray body (160) is moveably coupled. The tray body (160) moves relative to the backplane (120) while the bridge member (150) remains stationary relative to the backplane (120). Managed connectivity components (250) on the second circuit board (162) remain connected to the first circuit board (122) even while the tray body (160) is pivoting relative to the backplane (120).
