Patent ID: 7201607

Claim:
A stackable modular connector assembly, comprising: a track including a pair of rails, each rail including a channel formed along a length thereof, the channels of each rail being in juxtaposed relation to one another and defining a plane there between, the plane being substantially parallel to a plane of at least one window provided between the pair of rails; and at least one connector shell supportable by the pair of rails, the at least one connector shell defines at least one receptacle for selectively receiving a connector, each connector shell includes a pair of tabs extending from opposed sides thereof, each tab is configured and dimensioned for being received in an unlocked and slidable engagement in the channels of the rails, wherein a first rail is disposed along a first side of the connector shell and a second rail is disposed along a second side of the connector shell, wherein the at least one receptacle extends from an area below the plane to an area above the plane, is substantially bounded on at least one side thereof by an outer surface of the at least one connector shell, and wherein the at least one receptacle alians with at least a portion of the at least one window, such that an object positioned in a rear side of the connector assembly can be seen via the at least one receptacle and the at least one window from a front side of the connector assembly, the front side being opposite the rear side wherein the each tab of the at least one connector shell includes a hole formed therein; wherein the each rail includes a pair of apertures formed therein, wherein a first aperture is formed near a first end of the rail and a second aperture is formed near a second end of the rail, wherein the hole from each connector shell is registerable with a corresponding aperture formed in the pair of rails; and wherein the each rail includes at least one mounting hole formed therein for securing the rail to a support structure.
