Low profile faceplate having managed connectivity

摘要

A faceplate assembly includes a faceplate member; at least one jack module mounted in an opening of the faceplate member; and a printed circuit board assembly. The printed circuit board assembly includes a printed circuit board; a first set of secondary contacts that are electrically connected to the printed circuit board; and a network connector that is electrically connected to the secondary contacts of the first set via the printed circuit board. The secondary contacts extend into the jack module. The secondary contacts are isolated from primary contacts of the jack module.
