ABSTRACT:
An hermaphroditic IBM data connector/modular communication jack adapter made by encapsulating a modified standard modular telecommunication jack receptacle within a modified IBM data connector of attached cable type. Resilient solid wire contacts associated with the jack receptacle are terminated by insulation displacing contacts on and within the data connector. Terminal portions of at least two of the solid wire contacts are bent to positions overlying the jack receptacle casing. Plates cut from a shield enclosure which forms a part of the data connector are positioned in overlying relation to the terminal portions of the two solid wire contacts and establish ground drain continuity between the jack receptacle and the data connector.
