A communications card capable of being mounted in electrical communication with a computer has formed therethrough an aperture so sized and shaped as to be capable of receiving a physical/electrical media connector. A plurality of contact wires are disposed in the aperture. The contact wires have a tapered section formed thereon for preventing embedding and damage to the contact wires caused by plugging and unplugging the physical/electrical media connector in the aperture. The contact wires also have a remote end that is substantially rounded. The cross-section of the media connector is greater than the thickness of the communication card. The physical/electrical media connector also has a biased retention clip, a contact pin block, and contact pins. The retention clip has several standardized characteristics including a broad fixed end protruding from an outer surface of the contact pin block. The broad fixed end tapers abruptly at a transition notch down to a narrow free end, capable of being manipulated by a user to remove the physical/electrical media connector from the aperture in the communications card. In use, a physical/electrical media connector is inserted directly into the aperture in the communications card, the aperture being in contact with a plurality of contact wires fixed within the communications card. The aperture is formed either within the communications card itself, or within an aperture block in electrical communication with the communications card.
