Abstract: A designation strip for the rear portion of a communications outlet snaps onto an insulation displacement connector over the wire terminals therein and includes a designation label. The designation strip is attached via attachment flanges which cooperate with regularly-spaced attachment beads connected to the teeth of the insulation displacement connector. The designation strip includes side walls with respect to which the attachment flanges are aligned. During attachment, a side wall of the designation strip is engaged with an end wall of the insulation displacement connector thereby positively aligning the designation strip and the attachment flanges with respect to the insulation displacement connector and the attachment beads thereof. The side walls also serve to prevent the designation strip from becoming misaligned after attachment.

Abstract: A snap-in designation strip and a modular information management outlet assembly including the snap-in designation strip facilitate the simple and accurate designation of the source of each outlet. The snap-in designation strip comprises a rectangular base, top and bottom rails each including a groove for receiving a label, and an attachment tab extending from the back surface of the base. The assembly includes an outlet module having at least one connector located on a front face, a slot above the connector, and a designation strip wherein the attachment tab is inserted into the slot.
