Abstract
An RJ jack includes a first housing having bottom, side, rear, front and top walls defining an interior chamber and an opening through the front wall through which a plug may be received into the interior chamber. A plurality of contact fingers extend from beneath the bottom wall to and over the front wall and into the interior chamber. The spacing between the contact fingers in the interior chamber is equal to the spacing of corresponding contacts in the plug with the spacing of the contact fingers extending beneath the bottom wall being substantially greater. A second housing is removably secured to the rear wall of the first housing, the second housing containing a plurality of magnetic elements. At least two guides for receiving light emitting devices are formed on the rear wall of the second housing. The top wall extends over the first and second housings and has a stopper for limiting movement of the plug within the chamber and a locking mechanism for releasably securing the plug within the chamber, and is transparent for transmitting light from the light emitting devices.
