1. A connection assembly comprising:

  • a. a base structure;

    b. a backplane coupled to the base structure, the backplane including a first circuit board;

    c. a tray module configured to couple to the backplane, the tray module including;

    i. a tray body including a second circuit board and at least one managed connectivity component; and

    ii. a bridge member to which the tray body is moveably coupled so that the tray body is moveable relative to the backplane when the tray module is coupled to the backplane, the bridge member being coupled to the backplane in a fixed orientation when the tray module is coupled to the backplane so that the bridge member does not pivot relative to the backplane, and the bridge member providing a secure electrical connection between the second circuit board and the first circuit board to connect the managed connectivity component to a data management network even while the tray body is moved relative to the backplane.
