ABSTRACT:
A hinged adapter provides for the connection of input/output (I/O) cards to a communication connector, such as an RJ-type connector for example, for data processing systems. The hinged adapter has a first connector configured to mate with a connector at the end of an I/O card inserted in a receptacle of a data processing system. The hinged adapter also has a second connector configured to mate with the communication connector. The second connector is mounted to the first connector with a hinge. The second connector may be positioned in an operational position for mating with the communication connector. When not in use, the second connector may be rotated or folded about the hinge relative to the first connector into a stored position. The data processing system, I/O card, and hinged adapter may then be transported as an integral unit.
