Network accessory MetzConnect E-DAT C6A IDC UP (Reinweiß) — model 130D371002-I

MetzConnect E-DAT C6A IDC UP in reinweiß (model 130D371002-I) is a Category 6A network accessory designed for structured cabling systems. The module provides reliable Cat6A connectivity with IDC (insulation displacement connection) terminations and an upward-facing port orientation to suit patch panels, keystone plates, and backbone installations. The reinweiß finish matches common white faceplates and housings for a neat, consistent appearance in data cabinets and wall outlets.

Advantages

The IDC termination design enables fast, tool-assisted terminations without the need to strip individual conductor insulation, reducing installation time while maintaining consistent electrical contacts. The Cat6A rating supports high bandwidth and improved alien crosstalk performance for 10G Ethernet and other high-speed applications. The upward port orientation simplifies cable routing in patch panels and flush-mounted frames, and the reinweiß color ensures visual compatibility with standard white panels and cable management components.

Suitable for

• Structured cabling projects in commercial and residential buildings
• Patch panels and keystone wall plates requiring Cat6A performance
• Data centers and server rooms with high-density horizontal cabling
• Retrofit and new‑build installations where fast IDC termination is preferred

Key specifications

• Category performance: Category 6A (Cat6A)
• Termination type: IDC (insulation displacement connection)
• Port orientation: upward-facing (UP)
• Color/finish: reinweiß (pure white)
• Typical applications: patch panels, keystone inserts, wall plates

How to use

Prepare the horizontal or patch cabling by positioning the cable conductors into the IDC slots according to standard pair order. Use the appropriate insertion and impact tool to press the conductors into the IDC contacts, ensuring each pair is fully seated. Mount the module into the keystone or panel cutout with the port facing upward to match the intended cable routing. After termination, verify continuity and performance with a network tester rated for Cat6A to confirm correct wiring and signal integrity.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use compatible Cat6A cabling and maintain manufacturer-recommended bend radii and separation from power lines. Perform certification testing after installation to validate 10G Ethernet performance and alien crosstalk margins. Store modules in a dry, dust‑free environment and handle by the housing to avoid contaminating contact surfaces.
