Product Information
Full details
This Legrand RJ45 socket (Cat. 6, FTP, White) is for network installers and IT professionals building structured cabling systems. Its key benefit is a tool-free, quick-connect installation for LCS2 components, streamlining setup. A potential caveat is its compatibility focus on specific Legrand LCS2 systems. The socket supports single-core cables AWG 22-26 and multi-core AWG 26, featuring an FTP design, one-module width, and integrated text field for labeling. It ensures reliable connections compliant with industry standards.

FAQs
What does 'Cat. 6' mean for this socket?
'Cat. 6' signifies that the socket is designed to support network data rates up to 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps) over distances up to 100 meters, with a bandwidth of 250 MHz. It's suitable for modern network requirements.
What is the advantage of the FTP design?
FTP (Foiled Twisted Pair) means the cable is shielded, which helps to protect the data signal from external electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, leading to more stable and reliable network performance, especially in electrically noisy environments.
Do I need special tools to install this socket?
No, this socket features a quick-connect LCS2 system designed for tool-free installation using its integrated cutting clip mechanism. Standard cable preparation tools (like a cable stripper) may still be needed.
What type of cables can be used with this socket?
It is suitable for single-core cables with gauges from AWG 22 to AWG 26, and multi-core cables of AWG 26.
How do I label the socket?
The socket has a designated space for a text field. You can write on a label and insert it into this field for easy port identification.
Is this socket compatible with any brand of faceplate?
This socket is specifically designed for the Legrand LCS2 system. While it is a standard module size, optimal compatibility and performance are guaranteed with Legrand LCS2 faceplates and patch panels.
What standards does this socket comply with?
It complies with ISO/IEC 11801 ed. 2.0, EN 50173-1, and EIA/TIA 568 standards, ensuring it meets international quality and performance benchmarks.
Troubleshooting
No network connectivity after installation
Verify wire pairings are correct (T568A/B) and fully seated in the IDC contacts. Check the integrity of the cable and ensure it is not damaged. Test connection with a network cable tester.
Slow network speeds or intermittent connection
Ensure all connections are secure and properly terminated. Check for interference by verifying the FTP shield is correctly grounded. Inspect the cable for kinks or damage.
Difficulty terminating the cable
Ensure the cable diameter falls within the supported AWG range. Make sure the cutting clip mechanism is functioning correctly and not obstructed.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Tool-free installation reduces labor time and complexity.
- Category 6 performance ensures future-proof network speeds.
- FTP shielding offers enhanced protection against interference.
- Clear labeling space aids in network management.
- Wide cable gauge support offers installation flexibility.
Cons
- Primarily designed for Legrand LCS2 systems, limiting cross-brand compatibility.
- FTP design may require specific termination procedures compared to UTP.
- White color may not match all aesthetic requirements.
- Requires a compatible cutting clip for termination, which might need separate purchase.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Prepare the cable: Strip the outer jacket and arrange the twisted pairs according to the T568A or T568B standard. Ensure the foil shield is properly managed.
- Insert cable: Place the prepared cable into the socket, aligning the wires with the corresponding IDC (Insulation Displacement Connector) slots.
- Terminate: Use the integrated cutting clip mechanism to push the wires into the IDC contacts. The clip automatically trims excess wire.
- Mount: Install the module into a compatible Legrand LCS2 faceplate or patch panel.
Compatibility:
- This socket is designed for use within the Legrand LCS2 structured cabling system.
- It supports single-core cables AWG 22 to AWG 26 and multi-core cables AWG 26.
- Ensure the surrounding system components (faceplates, patch panels) are compatible with single-module RJ45 jacks.
Care:
- Keep the socket clean and free from dust and debris. A dry or slightly damp cloth can be used for cleaning.
- Avoid exposing the socket to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures.
- Ensure proper strain relief is applied to the cable connected to the socket.
