Abstract
An electrical connection system is provided that makes patch cord connections with snap-in jack modules using a hinged plug and jack mating system which results in simple connections with low insertion forces and enhanced side to side stability for the patch cord connectors. The hinged connector keeps the label area clear of cordage while troughs between adjacent rows of connectors accommodate the patch cords and facilitate efficient cable management.
