ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a modular jack receptacle connector (10) for mounting to a printed circuit board. Visual indicators (40) are provided along the mating face (24) of the modular jack receptacle connector (10). These visual indicators may be utilized for indicating various conditions either along the circuit board or between the modular jack receptacle jack connector (10) and an associated plug mated therewith. The visual indicators (40) are disposed on a flexible film circuit (42) in the modular jack receptacle connector (10) so as to minimize any electrical interference between the indicators and the communication signals passing through the connector (10).
