Abstract
The present invention is directed to a modular jack or RJ connector incorporated into a multi-port arrangement for use as an input/output interface connector for computers and the like. The multi-port connector comprises a single housing having a plurality of openings therein. Each opening is formed to provide at least two connecting ports to receive two corresponding plugs therein. Thus, the opening is formed without a dividing wall separating the two connecting ports. The removal of the dividing wall allows more connecting ports to be incorporated into the multi-port connector without increasing the size of its footprint.
