Abstract
An electrical connection system for making patch cord connections that uses a hinged plug and jack mating system which results in low insertion forces and enhanced side to side stability for the patch cord connectors. This system allows the jack and most of the mated plug to be positioned behind the label and have the cordage exit the jack towards the back plane and into the troughs that are between adjacent rows of connectors, instead of out from the connector field. This keeps the label area clear of visual obstructions like cordage and connectors.
