Product Information

Full details

This Kenable Cat6A FTP Shielded IDC Junction Box is designed for network professionals and DIY enthusiasts needing to join two bare-ended shielded Cat6a cables. Its primary benefit is providing a cost-effective and simple solution for extending existing cable runs or repairing damaged sections without the need to replace the entire cable. A minor consideration is that it specifically accommodates FTP shielded Cat6a cables, requiring proper cable termination.

FAQs

What type of cables can I use with this junction box?

This junction box is specifically designed for joining two bare-ended Cat6a FTP (Shielded) cables.

Do I need a special tool to install this?

Yes, you will need a standard 110 or Krone style punch-down tool to terminate the wires securely into the IDC connectors.

Can I use this for Cat5e or Cat6 cables?

No, this junction box is optimized for Cat6a FTP cables. Using other cable types may result in suboptimal performance or connection failures.

How do I mount the junction box?

You can mount it using screws through the designated holes or by using the supplied adhesive pad for a temporary or less permanent installation.

Is this suitable for outdoor use?

This junction box is intended for indoor network infrastructure. It is not weatherproof and should not be exposed to outdoor elements.

Will this degrade my network performance?

When installed correctly with compatible Cat6a FTP cables, this junction box should not significantly degrade network performance and is designed to maintain signal integrity for its intended purpose.

Troubleshooting

Network connection intermittently drops after using the junction box.

Verify that all wires are correctly punched down into their respective IDC slots. Ensure the shielding is properly terminated and making contact with the junction box's internal shielding mechanism. Check that the correct type of Cat6a FTP cable is being used.

Slow network speeds or high packet loss.

Confirm that the junction box is only used for joining Cat6a FTP cables. Ensure the punch-down tool was used correctly and all wires are fully seated. Examine the cables for any damage near the termination points. Test with a different cable segment if possible.

The junction box does not close properly.

Ensure no excess wire is protruding from the IDC terminals that might obstruct the cover. Check that the cable jackets are not pinched excessively, preventing the cover from seating correctly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a reliable shielded connection for Cat6a FTP cables.
  • Offers a budget-friendly solution for cable extensions.
  • Simple and quick to install with standard punch-down tools.
  • Allows for secure mounting to surfaces.

Cons

  • Only compatible with bare-ended Cat6a FTP cables.
  • Requires specific punch-down tools for termination.
  • May not be suitable for environments requiring higher bandwidth applications beyond Cat6a specifications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Prepare the ends of both Cat6a FTP cables by stripping the outer jacket to expose the shielded twisted pairs.
  2. Carefully separate the shielding material and ensure it is positioned correctly for termination.
  3. Align the individual wires of each cable with the corresponding slots on the IDC terminals within the junction box.
  4. Use a compatible 110 or Krone style punch-down tool to securely seat each wire into its terminal. This action cuts off excess wire and ensures a solid connection.
  5. Close the junction box cover.
  6. Mount the box to a flat surface using the provided screws or adhesive pad.

Compatibility:

  • Cable Standard: Cat6a
  • Cable Shielding: FTP (Foiled Twisted Pair)
  • Termination Tools: 110 or Krone style punch-down tools

Care:

This junction box is designed for internal network infrastructure and requires minimal care. Ensure it is protected from dust and moisture. Periodically check that the cable connections remain secure, especially if the junction box is located in an area prone to vibration. No active maintenance is typically required.
