Abstract: A fused power cable assembly and method of integrating a protective device with a power source connector retaining bracket. A bracket assembly having a bulkhead retaining element, a protective device element, and a retaining element operable to couple the protective device to the bracket allows for mounting of protective device(s) to the bracket instead of the bulkhead, thereby saving space. A power cabling assembly having a bracket assembly, a power connector, and a fastening element operable to couple the power connector to the bulkhead and the bulkhead to the bracket assembly, allowing assembly of the power cabling assembly prior to installation into target equipment.
