1. A connection interface comprising:
a base bracket having a height extending between opposite first and second ends, a depth extending between a front and a back, and a width extending between opposite first and second sides, the base bracket including a base wall defining the back, the base bracket also including first and second opposite base bracket side walls that define the first and second sides of the base bracket, the first and second base bracket side walls project forwardly from the base wall to the front of the base bracket to define a passage extending along the height of the base bracket, the base bracket defining a snap-fit module mounting interface between the first and second base bracket side walls, wherein the base bracket includes latch arms extending outwardly from a bottom of the base bracket and the base bracket defines catch surfaces at a top of the base bracket in vertical alignment with the latch arms;
a cable connection module having a front wall, the cable connection module connecting to the base bracket at the snap-fit module mounting interface to orient the front wall at a first non-zero angle relative to the height of the base bracket, the cable connection module including a component mounting surface disposed at the front wall, the component mounting surface being disposed at a second non-zero angle relative to the height of the base bracket, the second angle being different than the first angle; and
a cover configured to mount to the catch surfaces of the base bracket.
