The product is a connection module of the 3M LSA-Plus Series 1, type 79101-518 00, manufactured by Sueveg It mbH Nl. Stuttgart. It serves as a terminal strip for connecting and distributing plastic-insulated copper conductors in the field of telecommunications and electrical installation. The module is designed for 20 pairs of conductors and enables contact without stripping and simultaneous cutting of the connection wires in a single operation. It is specifically designed for solid conductors with a diameter of 0.4 to 0.8 mm (equivalent to AWG 26 to 20), making it suitable for standard copper conductors in building wiring.
Applications
This connection module is used in installation technology, particularly for distributing telephone or data lines and for connecting wires in distribution boxes or enclosures. It is intended for screw mounting and can be installed in standard distribution boxes or on mounting plates. The mounting spacing is 170 mm, enabling compatible installation in common distribution modules. The application is for indoor use only, as no information regarding weather resistance or IP protection rating is available.
Functions and Features in Detail
The module features cutting clamp contacts according to DIN 41 611 Part 6, ensuring a secure and gas-tight connection. Connection is achieved without stripping the conductor, thereby reducing installation time and minimizing error potential. At the same time, the wire is cut to length as it is inserted into the clamp, resulting in a clean, uniform termination. The connection is screw- and solder-free, simplifying installation and facilitating maintenance. The conductor materials must be made of copper and plastic-insulated to ensure the functionality of the LSA-plus technology.
Technology Explained Simply
The LSA-plus technology allows connection wires to be inserted into the clamp without prior stripping. The integrated cutting clamp removes the insulation and makes direct contact with the conductor, creating a firm, gas-tight connection. The clamp is designed for conductor diameters of 0.4 to 0.8 mm, enabling use with common installation wires such as AWG 26 to 20. Installation is done via screws, with mounting spacing of 170 mm allowing standard installation in distribution boxes. The materials consist of metal and plastic, with the color described as grey or silver — sources vary, but no definitive confirmation for either color is available.
Compatibility and Accessories
The module is designed for use with plastic-insulated copper conductors and is compatible with LSA-plus technology. It can be mounted in distribution boxes or enclosures that provide the required mounting spacing of 170 mm. No specific accessories or additional components are mentioned in the sources, so it can be used without additional adapters or brackets. Installation is done directly via screws, without requiring special tools or aids.
Installation and Mounting
Installation is performed by screw mounting into suitable distribution boxes or mounting plates. The mounting spacing of 170 mm must be observed to ensure correct installation. Wires are inserted into the cutting clamps without stripping, and the clamp simultaneously cuts and connects the wire. As a result, installation is quick and simple, without requiring additional tools such as soldering irons or wire strippers.
Operational Advantages
The no-stripping connection reduces installation time and minimizes error potential. The gas-tight connection ensures a stable and long-lasting electrical connection that remains reliable even under load. Simultaneous wire cutting ensures neat and uniform processing, facilitating maintenance and inspection. The screw- and solder-free installation reduces labor and required tools, making installation more efficient, especially in larger projects.
