How to use

Installation should be performed by a qualified professional to ensure proper wiring and safety. The mechanism is designed to be inserted into a standard electrical wall box. Once the wall box is prepared, the Ethernet cable is terminated according to the T568A or T568B wiring standard and connected to the internal terminals of the module. After the connection is secured, the mechanism is fixed into the box and finished with a compatible frame from the Karlik ICON series.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure compatibility with existing Karlik ICON frames
• Verify that your network cabling matches the Cat. 5e standard
• Check the depth of your wall boxes to ensure sufficient space for the cable bend radius

Usage recommendations

For optimal network performance, ensure that the Ethernet cable is not bent at sharp angles during installation and that the shielding is properly handled if using shielded cabling. Always test the connection with a network tester after installation to verify signal integrity.
