Abstract

An apparatus provides multiple telephone jacks at an outlet box that has an installed telephone jack and holes to receive cover plate support screws. The apparatus includes a housing and a wiring board in the housing. The housing has an outlet box side and another side and generally has the shape of a rectangular parallelopiped with a minimal distance from the outlet box side to the other side to provide the appearance of a conventional outlet box coverplate with minimal protrusion into a room from the outlet box when installed. A telephone plug protrudes from the outlet box side of the housing to enable engagement with a jack mounted in the outlet box and includes a release lever to enable release of the plug from the jack. The housing has an access path to permit access to the release lever.
