The VM 8-8 modules are employed as connections and extensions of commercially available, shielded and unshielded twisted-pair installation cables (Cat.5e/ Cat.6/Cat.6A/Cat.7/Cat.7A) in the following applications: transition point/consolidation point, cable extensions, damaged cables, cable rerouting. When VM 8-8 modules are used, the cable segments in a structured wiring system do not need to be laid out again. This reduces the expenses for alterations and the overall costs to a minimum. Depending on the connection module type, up to 12 incoming and 12 outgoing 8-wire cables can be permanently connected together without any significant reduction in the transmission characteristics or limitation of the maximum link lengths.
connection via LSA Plus terminals on a common PCB
colour coding acc. to EIA/TIA 568A and B
connection of 4-pair shielded/unshielded installation and patch cords from AWG 27-22
pairs can be brought directly up to the terminal without untwisting the pairs
secure shielded contact using screw-on terminals directly on the PCB
variable cable feeds
cable strain relief using commercially available cable ties (VM 8-8 Cat.7A)
tool-free installation of shielding cover made of stainless steel (19" and on-wall mounted version)
surface mount (AP) type: incoming and outgoing cables in the same direction
surface mount, 19", and basic (for loose connection) version: incoming and outgoing cables offset by 180 degrees
ground connection option directly on the PCB (M4 screw)
EMC compatible in accordance with EN 61000-6-1 and 61000-6-2
1/2 HU 19" insert housing made of sheet steel, powder-coated, RAL7035 light grey
cable extensions require no additional space in the floor distributor because of the spacesaving 1/2 HU construction
alternative wall mounting possible (pre-drilled mounting holes in the base plate)
a maximum of 12 incoming and12 outgoing cables
cable inlet and outlet from the rear
