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

Features:

• Connection via LSA-Plus cutting terminals on a common circuit board
• Color coding according to EIA/TIA 568A and B
• Connection for 4-pair shielded/unshielded installation and patch cables of 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 version: incoming and outgoing cables from the same direction
• Surface-mounted, 19-inch, and single 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.
