Abstract: A modular connector for modular data communication comprises a socket member located in a module. The module has a base for supporting the socket member. A connecting member for connecting thereto a connecting block is oriented on the base at an acute angle relative to the orientation of the base and socket member therein. In the preferred embodiment, a first face of the modular connector has a socket opening for plugging therein a modular plug. A second face of the modular connector, opposite the first face, has a row of posts with a longitudinal axis which is aligned substantially diagonally across the face. Such an arrangement permits two independent modular connectors to be placed side-by-side within a standard electrical box.
