Telecommunications module RJ45 Category 5e UTP Bettermann ASM-C5 (6117337)

Bettermann ASM-C5 is an unshielded telecommunications module with an RJ45 8P8C connector engineered to meet Category 5e performance. The module is intended for use in structured cabling systems for data and voice transmission and is compatible with standard keystone openings and modular patch panels. It supports Ethernet networks up to Cat5e specifications and is suitable for office, server room and general network installations where unshielded twisted pair (UTP) connectivity is required.

Advantages

The module offers a compact keystone form factor that simplifies installation in patch panels and wall plates. Its Category 5e compliance ensures reliable signal integrity for Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet over short distances consistent with Cat5e parameters. As an unshielded (UTP) component, it avoids grounding complexity while providing standardized 8P8C termination for quick cabling and testing.

Suitable for

• Horizontal cabling in office and commercial environments
• Terminating patch panels and keystone wall plates
• Data and voice connections in local area networks (LAN)
• Small to medium business network installations

Key specifications

• Connector type: RJ45 (8P8C)
• Cabling class: Category 5e (Cat5e) performance
• Shielding: Unshielded (UTP)
• Form factor: Keystone module compatible with modular patch panels and wall plates
• Application: Data and voice transmission for Ethernet networks

How to use

Terminate twisted-pair conductors to the module following the color code and wiring scheme specified for Cat5e installations. Insert the module into a compatible keystone opening or patch panel until it snaps into place. Use standard Ethernet patch cords with RJ45 plugs to connect network devices. Verify continuity and pair integrity with a suitable cable tester after termination to ensure correct performance.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, install the module in environments free from excessive electromagnetic interference and follow recommended bend radius and distance limits for Cat5e cabling. Use appropriate cable management and avoid running UTP cables parallel to power lines. Test the completed link to confirm it meets the required Cat5e parameters before putting the network into service.
