In one example, multi-bar ejector 116 may contain one or more levers, such as levers 118(A) and 118(B). In this example, a technician may press levers 118(A) and/or 118(B) in order to fasten multi-bar ejector 116 to the housing of the telecommunications system. In some embodiments, pressing lever 118(A) and/or 118(B) may transmit force applied to the levers to additional bars within multi-bar ejector 116. Specifically, levers 118(A) and 118(B) may transmit force to a link 120(A) and a link 120(B), respectively. As will be explained in greater detail below, links 120(A) and 120(B) may include one or more springs. These springs may perform a variety of functions to protect and/or optimize the operation of FRU 102. For example, the springs may apply a sufficient amount of force on FRU 102 to cause FRU 102 to fully mate with the backplane of the telecommunications system. Additionally or alternatively, the springs may absorb excess force applied to levers 118(A) and 118(B).

As shown in FIG. 1, multi-bar ejector 116 may also include a connection 122. In some examples, connection 122 may couple levers 118(A) and 118(B) to each other and/or additional components of apparatus 100.
