Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the maximum supported bandwidth for this module?
This Cat6A module supports up to 500MHz bandwidth, which is suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks.
Can I use this module with stranded patch cables?
No, this module is designed for solid core cables, typically used for in-wall installations and permanent links. Stranded cables are best used for patch cords.
What does 'tool-less' termination mean?
Tool-less termination means you do not need a punch-down tool to connect the wires. The IDC (Insulation Displacement Connector) mechanism on the module presses the wires into place when you close the cover or seat the conductors.
Is this module shielded?
The module itself is designed to accept and terminate shielded Cat6a cables, contributing to overall signal integrity.
What wall plates are compatible with this module?
This module is compatible with Euro module standard wall plates and specifically with the kenable wall plate reference 08836.
How do I ensure a professional installation?
Properly terminate cables using the color-coded IDC, ensure the shield is connected if using shielded cable, and utilize the integrated name plate for clear labeling of network ports.
Troubleshooting
No network connectivity after installation
Double-check the wire termination against the color code on the IDC block. Ensure all wires are fully seated and the connection is secure. Verify cable continuity with a network tester.
Slow network speeds or intermittent connection
Ensure the cable is properly terminated and that the shield (if applicable) is making good contact. Check for any kinks or damage to the cable. Confirm that the connected device and network switch also support Cat6a or higher speeds.
Module does not snap securely into wall plate
Verify that you are using a compatible wall plate designed for Euro modules. Ensure no obstructions are preventing the module from seating correctly.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Supports high bandwidth for future-proof networking (10GbE)
- Easy and quick installation due to tool-less design
- Reliable signal transmission with gold-plated contacts
- Clear port identification with integrated name plate
- Versatile use with both shielded and unshielded Cat6a cables
Cons
- Requires a compatible wall plate (e.g., kenable 08836) for full integration
- Primarily designed for solid core cables, not stranded patch cords
- White color may not match all aesthetic requirements
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Prepare your solid core Cat6a cable by stripping the outer jacket.
- Separate the individual wires and untwist them to the required length.
- Follow the color-coded IDC termination guide on the module to seat each conductor.
- Ensure all conductors are properly seated and secured using the IDC mechanism (no special tool required).
- Snap the module into a compatible Euro-style wall plate or patch panel.
Compatibility:
- Cable Type: Solid core Cat6a, shielded or unshielded.
- Wall Plate/Panel: Compatible with Euro module standard and specifically kenable wall plate reference 08836.
Care:
- Keep the module clean and dry. Use a soft, dry cloth for dusting.
- Avoid exposing the module to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures.
