The Metz Connect 25G module type 130B11-25-E is a network connection module for high-speed connections in the field of structured cabling. It is specifically designed for use in modern network infrastructures supporting 25GBASE-T (IEEE 802.3bq) and 10GBASE-T (IEEE 802.3an). The module is GHMT-certified according to ISO/IEC TR-11801-9905 for 25GBASE-T in Channel-Link with a range of 30 meters. Certification according to ISO/IEC TR-11801-9909 for 25GBASE-T over 30 meters is in preparation. The module is fully backward compatible and meets the requirements of Class E, A according to ISO/IEC 11801-1 and DIN EN 50173-1, enabling use in Permanent Link up to 90 meters and in Channel Link up to 100 meters.
Applications
This module is suitable for use in corporate networks, data centers, and other environments where high data rates and reliability are required. It is suitable for applications such as Remote Powering (PoE, PoE+, UPoE and 4PPoE), HDBaseT, SAT-IP and AVoverIP. Support for PoE technologies enables power supply to end devices via the network cable, simplifying the installation of IP cameras, access points or telephones.
Functions and equipment in detail
The module features an RJ45 connector according to IEC 60603-7-1 and is available in two installation forms: as a module and as a Keystone. Connection is made without special tools, reducing installation time and simplifying maintenance. Migration from existing 10G systems is also possible without special tools. The module allows connection of patch and installation cables in cross-sections AWG 26/7 to 22/7 as well as AWG 26/1 to 22/1. Cable strain relief is achieved via a snap clip directly on the load piece, ensuring secure cable fixation.
Technology explained simply
The module is equipped with a robust, reusable housing made of zinc die-cast, providing high mechanical stability. The intelligent cable management in the load piece allows even the processing of heavily twisted lines. The 360° shield connection ensures effective shielding and minimizes electromagnetic interference. The design is intended to be easily installed in various application scenarios.
Compatibility and accessories
The module is compatible with various accessories, including module carriers such as the BTR 19-Panel 1HE for 24 modules, as well as other modules such as the 1309427103-E module REGplus IP20 light gray unpopulated or the 1309150002-E module AP 2 Port unpopulated pure white. It can also be combined with cables such as the MC GC1300 pro22 Cat.7A S/FTP 4P LSHF-FR. An optional dust cover is available, protecting the connector from contamination.
Installation and mounting
Installation is done without special tools, accelerating the process and reducing error susceptibility. Cable strain relief via snap clip ensures secure cable fixation directly on the load piece. The installation forms module and Keystone allow flexible integration into existing or new cabling systems.
Advantages in operation
Due to its backward-compatible design and support for multiple high-speed standards, the module offers long-term operational security. The robust construction and intelligent cable management ensure a reliable and maintenance-friendly connection. Support for PoE technologies reduces the need for additional power supplies and simplifies network infrastructure.
