The VM 8-8 modules are used as connectors or extensions for commercially available shielded and unshielded twisted pair installation cables (Cat.5e, Cat.6, Cat.6A, Cat.7, Cat.7A) in the following applications: junction points, cable extensions, cable damages, and cable relocations. When using the VM 8-8 modules, the cable segments of a structured cabling system do not need to be re-laid. This minimizes the effort and costs associated with changes. Depending on the type of connection module, up to 12 incoming and 12 outgoing 8-wire cables can be connected securely without significantly impairing the transmission characteristics or limiting the maximum link lengths.

Features:

• Connection via LSA-Plus punch-down terminals on a common circuit board
• Color coding according to EIA/TIA 568A and B
• Connection for 4-pair shielded and unshielded installation and patch cables from AWG 27-22
• Wire pairs can be routed to the terminal while maintaining pair twisting
• Secure shield contact with screw terminals directly on the circuit board
• Variable cable entries
• Cable strain relief using standard cable ties
• Tool-free attachment of stainless steel shielding covers (19-inch and AP version)
• Surface-mounted variant: incoming and outgoing cables from the same direction
• Surface-mounted, 19-inch, and simple version: incoming and outgoing cables offset by 180 degrees
• Grounding option directly on the circuit board (M4 screw)
• EMC compliant according to EN 61000-6-1 and 61000-6-2.
