Connector with locking ring

A connector assembly comprising:

• a mating connector having a latch member;
• and
• a connector comprising:
• a housing comprising an internal compartment and a locking segment;
• a contact held within the internal compartment of the housing;
• a locking ring extending around the housing, the locking ring having a latch that is configured to cooperate with the latch member of the mating connector to lock the connector and the mating connector together;
• and
• a first actuator being configured to compress the locking ring radially inward to release the latch of the locking ring from the latch member of the mating connector, wherein the locking segment of the housing comprises a second actuator that is configured to compress the locking ring radially inward to release the latch of the locking ring from the latch member of the mating connector.

A connector assembly comprising:

• a cable extending along a central longitudinal axis, the cable having an end;
• and
• a connector terminating the end of the cable, the connector comprising:
• a housing comprising an internal compartment and a locking segment, the locking segment being mechanically connected to the cable;
• a contact held within the internal compartment of the housing;
• a locking ring extending around the housing, the locking ring having a latch that is configured to cooperate with a latch member of a mating connector to lock the connector and the mating connector together;
• and
• a first actuator being configured to compress the locking ring radially inward or expand the locking ring radially outward to release the latch of the locking ring from the latch member of the mating connector, wherein the locking segment of the housing comprises a second actuator that is configured to compress the locking ring radially inward or expand the locking ring radially outward when the cable is pulled along the central longitudinal axis to release the latch of the locking ring from the latch member of the mating connector, the second actuator being configured to release the latch of the locking ring from the latch member of the mating connector independently of the first actuator.
