Abstract
A latch release is provided for engaging a latching mechanism of a connector. The latch release includes a housing cooperatively associated with the connector having a passageway that defines a first open end and a second open end. The second open end of the passageway is positioned adjacent to an operative portion of the latching mechanism. A rail is slidably positioned within the passageway and includes a front end that projects outwardly from the second open end of the passageway adjacent to the operative portion of the latching mechanism. A rear end of the rail projects outwardly from the first open end of the passageway so that when the rail is slid through the passageway, the front end of the rail engages the operative portion of the latching mechanism thereby releasing the connector. A method of unlatching a connector is also disclosed.
