1. A system, comprising:
an electronic device including a device housing and an input/output (I/O) connector disposed at least partially within the device housing, the I/O connector sized and shaped to receive an external connector to electronically couple a cable extending from the external connector to the electronic device; and a retention mechanism for locking the external connector with the I/O connector, the retention mechanism being configured to couple to the device housing and including:
a retention housing having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, the second surface being adjacent to the device housing when the retention mechanism and the electronic device are coupled to one another; anda retainer disposed at least partially within the retention housing and including:
a mounting arrangement defining a channel configured to receive the cable of the external connector, the mounting arrangement being biased to apply a first retaining force to the cable; anda biasing member coupled to the mounting arrangement, the biasing member compressing a portion of the mounting arrangement adjacent to the channel such that a width of the channel decreases as the channel approaches the second surface, the biasing member applying a second retaining force to the mounting arrangement to increase the first retaining force, wherein, when tension is applied to the cable, the biasing member increases the second retaining force. |
