Abstract
A front releasable modular telecommunications jack adapter having a front part defined by at least one standard modular telephone jack and a rear part formed by a standard modular telephone plug. The plug is connected to the jack by a coupling member which comprises a rearward extension of the jack. A latch member supported on the plug for pivotal movement between latching and releasing positions is resiliently biased toward its latching position. A latch operator which includes an operating handle slidably supported within a slot in the telephone jack has an exposed portion forward of the jack and is connected to the latch member by an elongate flexible cord which extends through the adapter assembly.
