The VM 8-8 modules are used as a connection/extension of commercially available shielded/unshielded twisted pair installation cables (Cat.5e/Cat.6/Cat.6A/Cat.7/Cat.7A) in the following applications: collection point/consolidation point, cable extensions, cable damage, cable rerouting.

When using the VM 8-8 modules, the cable segments of a structured cabling system do not need to be re-laid. This reduces the amount of modification and costs to a minimum. Depending on the connection module type, up to 12 incoming and 12 outgoing 8-core cables can be permanently connected to one another without significantly affecting the transmission properties or limiting the maximum link lengths.

Features:
Connection via LSA-Plus insulation displacement terminals on a common circuit board
Color coding according to EIA/TIA 568A and B
Connection of 4-pair shielded/unshielded installation and patch cables of AWG 27-22
Wire pairs can be routed to the terminal while maintaining the pair twist
Secure shield contact with screw terminals directly on the circuit board
Variable cable feeds
Cable strain relief using standard cable ties (VM 8-8 Cat.7A)
tool-free attachment of the stainless steel shielding hoods (19-inch and AP version)
Surface-mounted (AP) variant: Incoming and outgoing cables from the same direction
Surface-mounted, 19-inch and single version: incoming and outgoing cables offset by 180 degrees
Grounding option directly on the circuit board (screw M4)
EMC-safe according to EN 61000-6-1 and 61000-6-2
