Receiver device for accepting narrow width connectors
Various embodiments disclosed herein are directed to a Network system including: a connector comprising a housing comprising a groove running widthwise on a surface of the housing; and a push-pull tab comprising a complementary groove, wherein the push-pull tab is detachably connected to the housing; and a receiver device comprising one or more ports for receiving the connector, the one or more ports having an interchangeable anchor device including a first portion and a second portion; wherein the groove is configured to receive the first portion of the interchangeable anchor device when the connector is inserted into the receiving element, and wherein the complimentary groove is configured to receive the second portion of the interchangeable anchor device when the connector is inserted into the receiving element, the push-pull tab being configured to disengage the second portion of the interchangeable anchor device from the complementary groove when the push-pull tab is moved in a direction away from the connector, thereby disengaging the first portion of the interchangeable anchor device from the grove of the connector. Other aspects are described and claimed.
1. A receiver device comprising:
one or more ports for receiving a connector having a top and a bottom;
the one or more ports comprising at least one cutout on the top; and
the one or more ports comprising at least one guide rail on the bottom,
wherein the at least one cutout is configured to receive an interchangeable anchor device.
2. The receiver device of claim 1 , wherein the interchangeable anchor device comprises a uni-body structure with a top and a bottom, wherein the top and the bottom are separated by a gap for at least a portion of the anchor device.
3. The receiver device of claim 2 , wherein the top and the bottom of the anchor device are connected substantially at the center of the anchor device.
4. The receiver device of claim 2 , wherein the top and the bottom of the anchor device are connected substantially at the end of the anchor device.
5. The receiver device of claim 2 , wherein the bottom of the anchor device comprises at least one hook tip and at least one hook ramp.
