ABSTRACT:
A network interface device has a base. The base has a first jack on its bottom and a second jack on its top. A middle section is pivotally attached to the base. The middle section has a plug portion shaped to fit into the second jack. The plug portion has first and second terminals. Each terminal has an upper portion and a lower portion. The lower portions of the first and second terminals are connected to the first jack by a pair of openings in the base between the first and second jacks. Each of the openings is capable of receiving a conducting portion of an external plug when the external plug is inserted in the first jack, so that the conducting portions of the external plug contact the lower portions of the first and second terminals. An upper section is pivotally attached to the middle section. The upper section receives the upper portions of the first and second terminals. The upper section has first and second holes. The upper section has an open position for insertion of first and second wires into the first and second holes, respectively, and a closed position for connecting the upper portions of the first and second terminals to the respective first and second wires.
