Summary:A push-pull plug has an outer housing (14) that may be moved forwardly and backwardly along a plug housing (12). When the outer housing is in its forward position, a latch arm (18) is in an upward or mated position and the plug will stay mated to a jack when the plug is inserted into the jack. When the outer housing is moved backwardly, cam surfaces (50) on the outer housing push cam followers (48) on the latch arm downwardly, moving the latch arm and latch to a downward or unmated position. The plug may then be removed from a jack as the outer housing is pulled. The plugs may be adapted for use with an insertion and removal tool (52). Corner finger grips may be formed on the outer housing and may be located in an alternating manner to facilitate use when plugs are closely positioned.
