Connection Details
The sockets accept RJ 11 (4 contacts), RJ 12 (6 contacts), and RJ 45 (9 contacts) connectors. They feature a double color code for T568A and T568B wiring standards on the terminals. The connectors support single core/multicore conductors from 0.4 to 0.65 mm (AWG 26 to 22) with polyethylene insulation between 0.85 to 1.7 mm. The RJ45 connectors are equipped with a locking nut and do not require special tools for wiring or re-wiring.
Wiring Standards:
- T568A
- T568B
Visual diagrams illustrating the connection and wiring standards are provided.
