How to use

Install the ABB TANGO single RJ45 Cat6A STP socket in a compatible wall box according to local electrical and cabling codes. Terminate the shielded twisted-pair cable to the socket’s IDC or punch-down points following the manufacturer’s wiring colour codes and ensure the shielding is properly connected to the outlet’s grounding contact. Secure the module into the faceplate and fasten the faceplate to the wall box. After installation, verify continuity, shielding continuity and signal performance with appropriate testers to confirm Cat6A throughput and correct grounding.

Usage recommendations

To achieve the intended Cat6A performance, use shielded Cat6A cabling, properly maintain shielding continuity from the cable to the outlet and ensure correct grounding. Avoid untwisting pairs beyond recommended lengths during termination and follow industry installation standards for cable routing and connectorisation.
