ABSTRACT:
A device (100) has a base (112). The base (112) has a first jack (161) on its bottom and a second jack (153) on its top. The first jack (161) may be a standard 645-type jack, and the second jack (153) may be a standard RJ11 jack. The base (112) has a bearing surface (114) for engaging a mounting surface (198) of a standard sheet metal panel. A first plug (160) (such as a 645-type plug) is shaped to fit into the first jack (161). The first plug (160) has terminals (164) which are conductively coupled to the second jack (153). The terminals (164) are shaped so as to directly connect to a printed circuit (199a) when the bearing surface (114) of the base (112) engages the mounting surface (198) and the mounting surface is positioned between the bearing surface and the printed circuit. A second plug (152), which may be an RJ11 plug, is shaped to fit into the second jack (153). The second plug (152) has contacts (154) which are conductively coupled to the printed circuit (199a) via the first plug (160) when the second plug is inserted in the second jack (153). The second plug (152) may be attached to the base (112) by a flexible attachment, which may be, for example, a cable (130) or a hinge (270). In one example, the base (212) and the second plug (252) are formed by a single portion of material, and are attached to each other by a living hinge (270).
