RELEASABLE CONNECTION FOR CABLES

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a releasable connection, which may include a first housing to couple to a first cable. The housing may include a mating surface to couple with a mating surface of a second housing that may couple to a second cable. The transmission components of the first cable may extend to the mating surface, to provide connection with respective transmission components of the second cable in response to a mating of the first and second mating surfaces. The connection may further include a retention mechanism, which may include a magnet component disposed on or in proximity to the mating surface, to interact with a corresponding magnet component of the second housing. A magnetic force produced in response to the interaction may provide the releasable coupling of the first and second cables. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
