A receptacle cage comprising:
- a frame comprising:
- a first frame end, a second frame end, a frame interior, a first frame surface and a second frame surface opposed to the first frame surface;
- and
- a plate comprising a plurality of holes formed therethrough and projecting from the first frame surface into the frame interior towards the second frame surface,
- wherein the plate is configured to collapse towards the first frame surface when a force is applied on the plate in a longitudinal direction extending from the first frame end towards the second frame end, and wherein the plate springs back into its initial position after the force is released.
