The VM 8-8 modules are employed as connections/extensions of commercially available, shielded/unshielded twisted-pair installation cables (Cat. 5e/Cat. 6/Cat. 7) in the following applications: damaged cables, cable extensions, 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.Performance Characteristics- Connection via LSA Plus terminals on a common PCB.- Colour coding in acc. with EIA/TIA 568A and B.- Connection of 4-pair shielded/unshielded installation cables from AWG 24-22.- 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.- Separate cable strain relief using commercially available cable ties.- 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 180degrees.- Ground connection option directly on the PCB (M4 screw).- EMC compatible in accordance with EN 50081-2 and 50082-2.
