Also, either the shell of the connector on the cable or the panel in which the chassis side connector is mounted can prevent full seating of the connector.

One more point I forgot, for you guys new to sub-d connectors: if you don't fully engage the locking mechanism (screws, latch, whatever) the locking mechanism itself can prevent full seating of the connector.

John,

If possible, please supply details on connector shell brand & style, where the interference was located, etc. Tracy might be able to alter the cutout in the chassis or specify a known-good shell that won't cause the problem you experienced. This is a much more common problem than one might think.
