Abstract

A connector system is described herein. The connector system includes cam lever devices to assist the mating of the connector bodies of the connector system to one another. The handles of the cam lever devices are movable from an extended position that provides increased leverage to a retracted position that can be used to stow the handles after the connector bodies of the connector system have been successfully mated. A method of assembling such a connector system is also described herein.
