Eagle Cat 6 Socket - D-Series Chassis Mount

IDC stands for Insulation Displacement Connector. A TQ toolless IDC connection means you can terminate the network cable wires into the socket without needing a punch-down tool; the connection is made by pushing the wire into a slot, which pierces the insulation and makes contact, often with an integrated cutting mechanism for excess wire.

This socket is designed for standard D-Series faceplates, which are commonly available in 1, 2, or 4 gang configurations. You will need to purchase a compatible D-Series plate separately.

While it might physically connect, this socket is designed and rated for Cat 6 performance. Using lower-grade cables may result in speeds below Cat 6 capabilities.

The product dimensions are approximately 3.00cm x 2.60cm x 3.20cm (Height x Width x Depth).

No, this product is the Cat 6 socket insert only. It is designed to be used with compatible D-Series faceplates, which must be purchased separately.

This socket is designed for indoor home or office use. It is not rated for outdoor environmental conditions.

Verify that all individual wires are correctly seated in the IDC connectors and that the correct wiring standard (568A or 568B) has been followed on both ends of the cable run. Check the cable integrity and ensure it is indeed Cat 6 rated.

Re-terminate the cable ends using the toolless IDC connections to ensure a solid connection. Check for any kinks or damage to the network cable and ensure the connected network equipment (router, switch) supports Cat 6 speeds.

Ensure you are using an appropriate IDC termination tool. Press down firmly on the wire until it clicks into place and the excess wire is trimmed. If using fingers, ensure the connection is secure and the wire is fully inserted.
