Abstract
A computer input/output (I/O) cable plug retaining seat comprises a retaining cover and a base. The seat can be connected to a computer I/O plug, such as a well-known CENTRONICS cable plug. Four screws are used to secure the cable plug between the retaining cover and the base. A pair of fixing screws secure the retaining seat with cable plug to the rear cover of an equipment shelf so that when a channel unit slides from the card guide of the equipment shelf, the channel unit connector will be led into the guide holes by means of guide pins so that the channel unit connector is precisely aligned with the cable plug. When a user wishes to remove the channel unit from the equipment shelf, the channel unit is extracted directly without having to disconnect the cable. Thus, the objective of rapid assembly and disassembly is achieved.
