Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a modular jack or modular connector mountable on a patch panel and having two openings. A first opening may receive a standard modular plug and a second opening may enable access to the resilient part of the conductive contacts inside the jack by a conductive element. The conductive element may electrically connect the connector to a second connector. The connector may be disconnected from the second connector when a communication plug is inserted into the first opening of the connector.
