Receptacle assembly having angled receptacle guide frames

An electrical assembly comprising:

• a host board having an outer edge configured to be positioned adjacent to a panel;
• multiple receptacle guide frames arranged adjacent to one another and ganged together, the receptacle guide frames coupled to the host board, each receptacle guide frame having a front end and a back end, the receptacle guide frames having a common top cage and separator walls both extending between the front end and the back end to define a plurality of receptacles, the common top cage spanning across each of the receptacles and the separator walls separating the adjacent receptacles, the front ends of the receptacle guide frames being angled at non-orthogonal angles with respect to the outer edge of the host board;
• each receptacle extending from the front end to the back end, each receptacle having an open end positioned at the front end of the receptacle guide frame and a closed end positioned at the back end of the receptacle guide frame;
• and
• a host board connector positioned at the closed end of each receptacle, each host board connector including a mating face, wherein each receptacle guide frame is coupled to the host board so that the mating face of each host board connector is positioned at a non-orthogonal angle with respect to the outer edge of the host board.

An electrical assembly comprising:

• a host board having an outer edge;
• a panel positioned adjacent to the outer edge of the host board, the panel having an opening extending therethrough;
• multiple receptacle guide frames arranged adjacent to one another and ganged together, the receptacle guide frames coupled to the host board, each receptacle guide frame having a front end and a back end, the receptacle guide frames including at least one coupling mechanism extending therefrom proximate to the front end, the at least one coupling mechanism being positioned in the opening in the panel to directly electrically connect the receptacle guide frames to the panel;
• a receptacle extending from the front end to the back end of each receptacle guide frame, each receptacle having an open end positioned at the front end of the receptacle guide frame and a closed end positioned at the back end of the receptacle guide frame;
• and
• a host board connector positioned at the closed end of each receptacle, each host board connector including a mating face, wherein each receptacle guide frame is coupled to the host board so that the mating face of each host board connector is positioned at a non-orthogonal angle with respect to the panel.
