Abstract

See full text

A system and method for retaining a commercial off the shelf connector and cable into a connector on a pc is shown and described as having a wire bail or retaining clip, which is either screwed to or forced into a friction fit behind a rear panel of the PC at the COTS connectors. The bail or retention clip extends beyond the end of the connector and cradles the cord, this helps to distribute the weight of the cord/cable. Also, the clip is sized and configured to make inadvertent disconnection of the connector less likely.
