How to use

Installation should be performed by a qualified individual familiar with electrical and network wiring standards. The socket is designed to be mounted into a standard wall box. Begin by stripping the outer jacket of the Category 6 cable and terminating the individual wires according to the T568A or T568B wiring scheme specified on the module. Ensure the shielding is properly grounded if the network infrastructure requires it. Once terminated, secure the module into the wall box and attach the faceplate to complete the installation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing network infrastructure supports Category 6 cabling.
• Ensure the wall box depth is sufficient for the 44 mm depth of the socket.
• Confirm that the silver color matches your existing electrical accessories.
• Check if your network environment requires shielded or unshielded components.

Usage recommendations

For optimal network performance, ensure that the cable twists are maintained as close to the termination point as possible and avoid sharp bends in the cable during installation.
