The Metz Connect E-DAT module Cat.6A 8(8) socket, type 130910-I, is a modular connection unit for network cable connections in the field of structured cabling. It serves as an RJ45 socket for installation in module carriers or as a single module for direct mounting on installation cables, for example in floor ducts or in limited space. The module is designed for use in networks of class E, A, which corresponds to category Cat.6A, and meets the requirements of standards ISO/IEC 11801, DIN EN 50173-1, ANSI/TIA-568.2-D, and IEC 60603-7-51. Component testing is carried out in accordance with these standards, and the product is GHMT-certified.

Applications

The module is designed for use in professional network infrastructures, particularly in offices, server rooms, industrial facilities, or for cabling of building automation systems. It is suitable for mounting in module carriers such as 130921-00-E or BTR 19-Panel 1HE, which are designed for 24 modules. Due to the 180° cable entry arrangement, it is particularly suitable for installations where the cable is introduced from the rear of the module, for example in wall sockets or floor distributors.

Functions and equipment in detail

The module features a user-friendly BTR 8-way IDC stripping clamp, enabling quick and secure connection of 2- to 4-pair data lines. Compatible cables include AWG 26/1 to 22/1, as well as stranded conductors with 7-wire Cu stranded wire AWG 26/7 to 22/7. The wire assignment is marked according to T568A and T568B, ensuring correct wiring. Inserting the wire pairs into the loading piece of the E-DAT module is easy and fast. Cable strain relief is achieved via a cable tie on the module to prevent mechanical stress on the cable connection.

Technology explained simply

The module is fully shielded, providing high protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI). Shielding ensures stable data transmission, especially in environments with high electromagnetic noise. Testing is performed up to a frequency of 500 MHz, ensuring performance for modern networks with high data rates. The housing is made of zinc die-cast and is finished, ensuring high mechanical stability and corrosion resistance. Mounting requires no special tools, simplifying installation for electrical and IT technicians.

Compatibility and accessories

The module is intended for mounting in module carrier 20825, but can also be used as a single socket directly connected to installation cables. It is compatible with accessories such as the dust cover 820032-0108-I, which can be attached to the module. Other compatible components include module carriers such as 130921-00-E or BTR 19-Panel 1HE, as well as other E-DAT modules such as 130910-Z or 130B11-Z. The use of Cat7 cables such as 1887ENH or 1885ENH is also possible, as the module technology meets the required connection conditions.

Mounting and installation

Installation is performed by simply inserting the wires into the IDC clamps and then stripping them. Cable strain relief is ensured by a cable tie on the module. Mounting is done in the module carrier or directly on the installation, with the 180° cable entry facilitating placement in confined spaces. No special tools are required for mounting, increasing work speed.

Advantages in operation

The module provides a reliable and durable connection with high protection against electromagnetic interference. The simple tool-free mounting reduces installation time and error susceptibility. The use of zinc die-cast ensures long service life and mechanical robustness. Compatibility with various module carriers and accessories enables flexible integration into existing or new cabling systems.

The product is delivered in a pack of 10 and is also available individually.
