Abstract
A telecommunications outlet includes an outlet housing and a telecommunications module assembly. The outlet housing includes an opening into which a complementary mating telecommunications plug can be inserted from the front of the housing. The telecommunications module assembly includes a telecommunications module mounted on a printed circuit board. Guide tracks project rearwardly from the outlet housing for slidably engaging opposite edges of the printed circuit board for guiding the module assembly into an operable position with the telecommunications module aligned with the opening for mating with the telecommunications plug. A latch arm projects rearwardly of the housing for holding the module assembly in its operable position. An electrical connector is mounted on the printed circuit board rearwardly of the telecommunications module for easy access thereto.
