Network telecommunication module Bettermann ASM-C6 unshielded RJ45 Cat6 (6117341)

The Bettermann ASM-C6 unshielded RJ45 Cat6 module is designed for structured cabling in data and voice networks. This keystone-style telecommunication insert supports four-pair UTP connections and delivers Cat6 performance for 250 MHz channel bandwidth. The compact module fits into patch panels, keystone plates and modular faceplates, offering a standardized RJ45 termination format for reliable connectivity in commercial and residential network installations.

Advantages

The module provides consistent Cat6 electrical characteristics for improved data throughput and reduced crosstalk compared with lower-category inserts. Its unshielded construction simplifies installation where screened cabling is not required, while the standard RJ45 interface ensures compatibility with common plugs and patch cords. The keystone form factor enables flexible placement in panels and faceplates, and the plastic housing is optimized for easy handling and secure seating in modular frames.

Suitable for

• Ethernet LANs up to Gigabit speeds and structured cabling backbones
• Termination points in server rooms, offices and home networks
• Modular patch panels, wall plates and surface-mounted faceplates
• Voice installations and data outlets for IP phones and endpoints

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6 performance for 4-pair UTP connections
• Connector type: RJ45 jack, keystone module format
• Frequency rating: up to 250 MHz channel bandwidth
• Contact termination: IDC or punch-down compatible contacts for solid conductors
• Mounting: compatible with standard keystone openings, patch panels and faceplates
• Use environment: indoor commercial and residential network infrastructure

How to use

Prepare the UTP cable by stripping the outer jacket and arranging the four twisted pairs according to the chosen wiring scheme. Terminate each conductor into the module’s IDC or punch-down contacts, ensuring proper seating and maintaining pair twist as close to the termination as practical. Insert the keystone module into the target panel or faceplate until it snaps securely. Test the terminated link with appropriate network testers to verify continuity, pair mapping and performance up to Cat6 parameters.

Usage recommendations

The module is intended for use with unshielded cabling systems; avoid combining unshielded modules with shielded cabling without proper grounding and system-wide shielding measures. For installations requiring higher EMI protection or 10G performance, consider shielded or higher-category components. Follow local cabling standards and manufacturer guidelines for cable type, bend radius and installation distances to maintain Cat6 performance.
