Abstract
A system and a method for protecting a connector and a body of a wireless adapter with a geometrical loop antenna. The loop antenna folds over the body of the wireless adapter to protect the connector and the body. The wireless adapter may be used to connect a peripheral device to a host device. The body of the wireless adapter includes a body stop operable for receiving the loop antenna. The system may also include a cap for protecting the connector of the wireless adapter. In this instance, the loop antenna folds over the cap to lock the cap in place on the connector. A cap may also be integrated into the distal end of the loop antenna.
