Abstract
Connectors and cable assemblies having a label stored in a label storage area of a component of the connector along with methods for making the same are disclosed. The label is extendable from the label storage area with a label length that is longer than a length of the label storage area, thereby providing the craft with adequate space for marking information. Suitable components of the connector for the label storage area include housings, boots, clips and the like. Further, the label storage area protects the label from damage while also maintaining a relatively small footprint for the connector.
