Tips

For best results, use a high-quality LSA punch-down tool to terminate the conductors. Ensure the cable jacket is properly stripped and the pairs are untwisted as little as possible to maintain CAT 6A performance. When mounting, position the box with the cable entries facing downward to prevent dust accumulation and reduce strain on the connections.
