The present invention 10 discloses a modular jack system that utilizes magnetic attraction to draw a plug 16 into a jack 18 and then maintain it therein. The present invention 10 discloses a magnetic modular jack system wherein the plug 16 and the jack 18 have at least one pair of cooperating magnets 30, 32 polarized so that the magnets on the plug 16 are drawn to the magnets on the jack 18 thereby pulling the plug 16 into the proper connected position and maintaining it therein. Installation of the plug 16 into the jack 18 is simplified because the magnets will guide the plug 16 into the jack 18 once in the proximity thereof. The present invention 10 could also be adapted for use with other similar applications such as coaxial cable 44 connections to replace the threaded and slip-on types of connections known in the prior art.
