Abstract

A communication jackfield having a face plate, a plurality of jacks and a designation plate. The designation plate is of a generally elongate flat shape, and has a plurality of jack barrel access holes, for allowing a front end of each of the jack barrels to protrude into respective jack barrel access hole, when jacks are mounted onto the face plate. The designation plate further has a first strip holder and a second strip holder, each strip holder having a longitudinal lower flange and a longitudinal upper flange arranged to securely hold a strip of information marking material. The designation plate covers substantially all of a front side of the face plate, and further has jack screw access holes arranged in conjunction with each jack barrel access hole. The designation plate front portion is generally in a same plane as an outer edge of the longitudinal upper and lower flanges, thereby allowing the strip holders to extend from an edge of the designation plate to the jack barrel access holes, to provide holding for extra wide strips.
