It is not intended for outdoor use or areas with high moisture levels.

Key specifications

• Connector type: 2x RJ45
• Category: Cat5E
• Shielding: UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair)
• Termination type: Krone-type IDC
• Mounting style: Surface mounted

How to use

To install the LYNX PXO-22-C5E, first secure the housing to the desired wall surface using appropriate mounting hardware. Strip the outer jacket of your Cat5E network cable and arrange the individual twisted pairs according to the color-coding scheme indicated on the internal terminal block. Use a standard Krone-style punch-down tool to press the wires into the insulation displacement connectors, ensuring a firm connection. Once all wires are terminated, snap the cover into place to protect the connections and complete the installation.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your existing cabling is compatible with Cat5E standards.
• Verify that the surface mounting location is flat and stable.
• Confirm that you have a compatible punch-down tool for Krone-type connectors.

Usage recommendations

For optimal network performance, ensure that the twists in the cable pairs are maintained as close to the termination point as possible and avoid over-tightening the cable ties during final cable management.
