Abstract

A block-out cover (30) is installed in a jack module (20) to prevent entry of undesirable objects. The block-out cover includes at least one window and at least one locking arm. The locking arm secures the cover to the jack module. The window receives a removal tool (60) designed to remove the cover from the jack module. The removal tool includes a body (62), a lever (70) secured to the body to engage the cover and a prong (80) with a cam surface. The cam surface of the prong deflects the cover from locking engagement with the jack module allowing the removal tool to remove the block-out cover.
