Modular plug locking system

摘要

A modular plug is locked in a modular receptacle by a frangible locking member disintegral from such modular plug. An internal first catch on that frangible locking member catches an inside of the modular receptacle. The internal first catch is rendered inaccessible from outside the modular receptacle when the frangible locking member and the modular plug are in place in that modular receptacle. A second catch on the frangible locking member detains the modular plug in the modular receptacle until the frangible locking member has been broken up. A device for locking a modular plug in a modular receptacle has a locking member disintegral from such modular plug and having a frangible head. A pair of spaced flexible prongs project from such head. A catch on each of such flexible prongs is spaced from the frangible head and a third or middle prong projects from the head between the pair of spaced flexible prongs.
