Communications distribution interface unit assembly

A communications distribution interface unit assembly for mounting to appropriate frame means behind an opening in a wall panel, comprising:

• a unitary cover integrally molded of dielectric material and adapted for mounting to the frame means, the cover including front face plate means, through aperture, integrally molded thin ribs projecting rearwardly of the face plate means to provide structural support means rigidifying the cover in a direction generally perpendicular to the wall panel and to align the unit assembly with the opening in the wall panel, and integrally molded bosses projecting rearwardly of the face plate means to provide integral fastener receptacle means on the rear of the cover;
• and
• at least one communications module, including electrical connector means mounted on a generally planar connector support, having means for facilitating fastening of the module to the bosses of the cover, with the electrical connector means exposed at the rear of the assembly for easy access thereto, whereby the entire communications module assembly can be preassembled and, thereafter, mounted to the frame means behind the opening in the wall panel.
