FAQs
What is the exact size of the LJ6C aperture this shutter fits?
The shutter is designed for the LJ6C standard, which typically measures 22.5mm x 37mm.
Can I use this with Keystone jacks from other brands?
While it is designed for Excel Keystone Tool-less Jacks, compatibility with other brands may vary. It's recommended to use it with Excel jacks for guaranteed fit and performance.
Does this shutter come with a Keystone jack included?
No, the shutter is a housing module. The Excel Keystone Tool-less Jack is a separate component that needs to be purchased and installed within the shutter.
How do I clean the white plastic surface?
Use a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch or discolor the plastic.
Is the angled design suitable for all installations?
The angled design is particularly beneficial in tight spaces behind outlets or in shallow wall cavities. Ensure it provides adequate clearance for your specific installation needs.
What type of fastening does this shutter use?
It uses an 'engage (snap)' fastening system, meaning it clips directly into the compatible aperture without the need for screws or additional tools.
Can I replace the label in the field?
The label field is integrated into the shutter. You typically write directly onto it or use a small label sticker. It is not designed for replaceable label inserts.
Troubleshooting
Shutter does not snap into place.
Verify that the aperture size is correct (LJ6C, 22x37mm) and that there are no obstructions in the aperture. Ensure the shutter is aligned correctly before applying pressure.
Keystone jack does not fit securely into the shutter.
Confirm that you are using a compatible Excel Keystone Tool-less Jack. Ensure the jack is correctly oriented and pushed fully into the shutter until it clicks.
Cable is difficult to route due to angle.
The angled design is intended to optimize space. Ensure cables are flexible enough and not excessively stiff. For extremely tight bends, consider alternative routing if possible.
Label field is difficult to write on or smudges.
Use a permanent marker or a label printer for best results on the integrated label field. Clean the area with a dry cloth before writing.
