ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector is disclosed for conducting an electrical signal from a source, such as a video output device, to a destination, such as a video display device. The electrical connector includes a cable that has an outer sheath and contains at least one electrical conductor. An L-shaped plug is included that has a conduit therethrough for conveying each electrical conductor therethrough. A connector housing rotationally captures a proximal end of the plug and includes a jack electrically connected to at least one of the electrical conductors. The plug is preferably limited to rotation of approximately 270 degrees with respect to the connector housing, and includes a discernable detent every 90 degrees. As such, the cable may be rotated to any suitable position to facilitate the installation of the connector into the destination, but only through a limited arc.
