  • Cable chain system with automatic latching and unlatching
    Patent number: 12026021
    Abstract: An apparatus and method provide a cable chain system with automatic latching and unlatching that facilitates the hot-swapping of individual drives, and also the hot-swapping of an entire JBOD sled. Between an installed position and a first extended position, the apparatus maintains the connection of the sled to the shared rack infrastructure, which facilitates the hot-swapping of individual drives in the first extended position. With additional movement to a second extended position, the apparatus releases the sled, allowing the sled to be disconnected from the shared rack infrastructure.
