How to use

Installation should be performed by a qualified individual familiar with network cabling standards. The socket is designed for flush or surface mounting depending on the wall box configuration. To connect, strip the outer insulation of the Category 5e cable, arrange the individual wires according to the T568A or T568B wiring standard, and use an appropriate punch-down tool to seat the wires into the IDC terminals. Once connected, secure the socket into the wall box and attach the faceplate.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your network cable type matches the Category 5e specification.
• Verify that your wall box is compatible with the 82 mm x 82 mm dimensions.
• Confirm the required wiring standard (T568A or T568B) for your specific network setup.

Usage recommendations

For optimal network performance, ensure that the cable twists are maintained as close to the IDC terminals as possible and avoid sharp bends in the cabling behind the socket.
