Abstract
There is disclosed an improved adaptor for connecting a first connector to a data communications plug having at least one flange extending radially therefrom, comprising in combination a body, a first connector at the front end of the body, a well formed within the body and opening onto one of the body sides, a second connector within the well, a notched strain relief plate rotatably connected to one of the body sides of the body, and means for securing the strain relief plate in a closed position, which improved adaptor prevents, by the locking action of the strain relief plate and the flange, the withdrawal of the data communications plug when the plug is inserted into the well to a seated position.
