Abstract
A connector adapted to be connected to a network device is provided. The network device includes a connection port, and the connection port includes an elastic sheet. A wedging hole is formed on the elastic sheet. The connector includes a connector housing, a sliding element and a rotation element. The connector housing includes a latch. The latch is formed on the connector housing, and is adapted to be wedged into the wedging hole. The sliding element is moved between a first position and a second position along a straight line. When the sliding element is in the first position, the latch wedges into the wedging hole. When the sliding element is in the second position, the sliding element abuts the elastic sheet to separate the latch from the wedging hole. The rotation element is connected to the sliding element.
