Abstract
An adapter includes a mechanical frame, which is configured to be inserted into a SFP-type receptacle and contains a socket for receiving a plug of a twisted-pair-type cable. First electrical terminals, held by the mechanical frame, are configured to mate with a connector in the receptacle. Second electrical terminals, held within the socket, are configured to mate with electrical connections of the plug. Circuitry connects the first and second electrical terminals so as to enable interoperation of the plug with the receptacle.
