Abstract
Various techniques are provided to secure a connector to a module, for example, for convenient and reliable use in mobile environments. In one example, a system includes a housing and a latch mechanism. The latch mechanism includes first and second opposing latch members that define a cavity configured to receive a cable connector. The latch mechanism also includes first and second bias members configured to maintain the latch members in tension with each other. The latch members are configured to slide relative to each other in response to the bias members to secure the connector relative to the housing. Additional systems and methods are also provided.
