Abstract
A preferred embodiment of a modular jack includes a visual indicator for indicating a condition of an electrical signal, and a body capable of receiving at least a portion of a connector plug. The body has a first outer surface located in a first plane, and a second outer surface located in a second plane substantially perpendicular to the first plane. The body defines a pocket for receiving at least a portion of the visual indicator. The pocket extends into the body from the first and the second outer surfaces so that the at least a portion of the visual indicator can be inserted into the pocket in a first direction substantially perpendicular to the first plane, and in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the second plane.
