Product Information
Full details
This Jung LS990AWW blind plate is designed for electricians and DIY enthusiasts needing to neatly introduce conductors into a junction box or wall cavity. Its key benefit is providing secure cable entry with integrated strain relief for up to 5 x 2.5 mm² conductors. A minor consideration is that it requires a separate cover frame from the Jung LS range for a complete installation.

Troubleshooting
Conductors do not fit through the entry.
Verify the number and size of conductors do not exceed the specified range (3 x 1.5 mm² to 5 x 2.5 mm²). Ensure no debris is obstructing the entry point.
Strain relief not holding cables securely.
Ensure the strain relief clamp is properly tightened around the cable sheath. If the cable is too thin or too thick for the clamp, consider using an alternative solution or consult an electrician.
Plate does not sit flush with the wall.
Check that the underlying flush-mounted box is installed correctly and is level. Ensure no obstructions are preventing the plate from seating properly.
Cover frame does not attach correctly.
Confirm that you are using a compatible cover frame from the Jung LS range. Ensure the blind plate is correctly seated in the mounting box before attaching the frame.
