Abstract
A connector release assist system includes a first connector that has at least one first connector securing feature that is configured to engage a second connector to secure the second connector to the first connector, and disengage the second connector when a second connector release member on the second connector is actuated. A subsystem is located adjacent the first connector such that the subsystem inhibits access to the second connector release member when the second connector is secured to the first connector. A connector release assist device is located adjacent the first connector, extends past the subsystem, and is configured to actuate the second connector release member. In specific examples, the first connector is an RJ-45 female connector, and the second connector is an RJ-45 male connector.
