Adhesive laminate label for a communication connector jack and communication connector jack and communications devices including same

A communications device, comprising:

• a device body including at least one signal line termination port;
• and
• at least one adhesive laminate label positioned on the device body, each adhesive laminate label including:
• an upper label including visible indicia;
• and
• at least one lower label, each of the lower labels including corresponding visible indicia that are different than the visible indicia of the upper label and of the other lower labels, and wherein at least the visible indicia of each lower label are covered by either the upper label or one of the other lower labels and wherein the upper and lower labels are removably adhered to one another.

A patch panel, comprising:

• at least one circuit board, each circuit board including first and second sides and including a plurality of electrically conductive traces;
• a plurality of communication connector jacks, each communication connector jack physically connected to the first side of a corresponding circuit board;
• a plurality of wire termination contacts, each wire termination contact physically connected to the second side of a corresponding circuit board, the wire termination contacts arranged in at least one row on the second side of each circuit board and the communication connector jacks connected to a given circuit board electrically coupled to the wire termination contacts connected to that circuit board through the electrically conductive traces of that circuit board;
• and
• at least one adhesive laminate label attached to the patch panel, each adhesive laminate label being attached so the adhesive laminate label is adjacent to at least some of the wire termination contacts, and each adhesive laminate label including:
• an upper label including visible indicia;
• and
• at least one lower label, each of the lower labels including corresponding visible indicia that are different than the visible indicia of the upper label and of the other lower labels, and wherein at least the visible indicia of each lower label are covered by either the upper label or one of the other lower labels and wherein the upper and lower labels are removably adhered to one another

A method, comprising:

• physically attaching an adhesive laminate label to a patch panel, the adhesive laminate label including:
• an upper label including visible indicia;
• and
• at least one lower label, each of the lower labels including corresponding visible indicia that are different than the visible indicia of the upper label and of the other lower labels, and wherein at least the visible indicia of each lower label are covered by either the upper label or one of the other lower labels and wherein the upper and lower labels are removably adhered to one another.
