A protecting device for enclosing cable connectors of a computer, comprising:
- a rear panel of a computer chassis having a plurality of I/O ports for the cable connectors inserting thereinto;
- a first member having a first rear wall;
- and
- a second member with a second hook for attaching the second member to the rear panel, the second member having a second rear wall and a cap around the second hook;
- wherein the first rear wall is coupled with the second rear wall for enclosing the cable connectors, and the cap encloses the second hook with the rear panel.
A protecting device for enclosing cable connectors of a computer, comprising:
- a rear panel of a computer chassis having a plurality of I/O ports for the cable connectors inserting thereinto, a plurality of holes being defined in the rear panel;
- a first member comprising a pair of hooks each with a wedge portion engaging with the hole of the rear panel for securing the first member to the rear panel, the hooks' wedge portions being disposed face to face;
- and
- a second member coupled to the first member for enclosing the cable connectors, the second member comprising a pair of hooks each with a wedge portion engaging with the hole of the rear panel for securing the first member to the rear panel, the hooks' wedge portions being disposed face to face.
An electronic device comprising:
- a chassis enclosing said electronic device therein, and defining a rear panel exposable to an outside of said chassis for further connection with said electronic device;
- a plurality of cable connectors capable of electrically connecting onto said rear panel for establishing said further connection with said electronic device and extendable in said outside of said chassis;
- and
- a protecting device engagably attachable to said rear panel and capable of enclosing around extension of said plurality of cable connectors in said outside of said chassis, at least one retaining means formed at a side of said protecting device and capable of retainably engaging with said rear panel to confine movement of said protecting device toward said rear panel along an exclusive direction, and at least one locking means formed at said protecting device other than said side and capable of engaging with said rear panel to fix said protecting device onto said rear panel when said protecting device moves along said exclusive direction after retainable engagement of said at least one retaining means and said rear panel.
