Abstract
A communication line plug coupler is for use in a multiline equipment panel which snap fits into an aperture formed through a surface of the panel. The coupler receives at least one communication line plug on each side of the panel providing a primary demarcation point in determining system problems. The coupler comprises a coupler body having a front portion and a rear portion with an RJ11 plug receptacle formed in the front portion and an insert receptacle formed in the rear portion. The front portion is integrally formed with flexible retention means for retaining the coupler in engagement through the aperture formed in the panel. The receptacles are formed in the coupler for positioning removably engagable plugs inserted in each receptacle for electrical engagement therebetween. The coupler is integrally formed as a single piece body of a material such as plastic having insulating characteristics for insulating the coupler from the panel.
