Abstract
A clasp mechanism connector for quickly connecting a computer cable to a receiving member includes a body, a port connector and a biasing member. The biasing member maintains ratchet like teeth particularly useful in grasping internal threading such as that found in computer port housing. The connection apparatus securingly connects the cable connector to a traditional jack screw-type receiving member via actuation of the biasing member. The biasing member may preferably be a resilient member such as a spring or spring-like mechanism.
