How to use

Installation should be performed by a qualified professional or an individual with experience in electrical wiring. The socket is designed to be mounted in a standard wall box. Begin by stripping the outer jacket of the Ethernet cable and arranging the individual wires according to the T568A or T568B wiring standard indicated on the socket terminal block. Use a punch-down tool to secure the wires into the IDC connectors, ensuring a firm connection. Once wired, snap the mechanism into the mounting frame and attach the cover plate to complete the installation.

• Verify that your existing cabling infrastructure is compatible with Category 5e standards.
• Ensure the cream color matches your existing Legrand Valena Life cover plates and frames.
• Confirm that you have the necessary punch-down tools for installation.

Usage recommendations: For optimal network performance, avoid bending the Ethernet cables at sharp angles behind the wall plate and ensure that the cable pairs are untwisted as little as possible during the termination process.
