15. A method of managing connections to an electrical device, comprising:
-
coupling a first row of two or more respective connector plugs of two or more respective cables to a cable holder such that the cable holder maintains the two or more cables in a predetermined spacing and arrangement with respect to one another, wherein the predetermined spacing and arrangement matches a spacing and arrangement on a corresponding set of two or more connector receptacles on a particular electrical device; coupling a second row of two or more respective connector plugs of two or more respective cables to the cable holder such that the cable holder maintains the two or more cables in a predetermined spacing and arrangement with respect to one another, wherein the predetermined spacing and arrangement matches a spacing and arrangement on a corresponding set of two or more connector receptacles on the particular electrical device or another particular electrical device; operating a toggle assembly into a first position to concurrently actuate a connector plug release mechanism of the cable holder associated with the first row of connector plugs and a connector plug release mechanism of the cable holder associated with the second row of connector plugs to disconnect the cables from the particular electrical device or the other particular electrical device; and operating the toggle assembly into a second position to concurrently actuate the connector plug release mechanism associated with the first row and the connector plug release mechanism associated with the second row to couple the respective connector plugs of the three or more cables to corresponding connector receptacles on the particular electrical device, the other particular electrical device or another electrical device. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)
