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(IEC)/Cat.7/Cat.7A(IEC)) 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(IEC)) tool-free installation of shielding cover made of stainless steel (19 and wall mount 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 bonding connection option directly on the PCB (M4 screw) EMC compatible in accordance with DIN 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 and 12 outgoing cables cable inlet and outlet from the rear Multi 12x VM 8-8 Cat.7A(IEC) 19 1/2 HE Multi Connection Module for 12 shielded and unshielded installation cables light grey RAL 7035
