Rutenbeck Universal Connection Unit UAE8/8 8/8 LSA Aprw — modular telephone/network termination panel

Rutenbeck Universal Connection Unit UAE8/8 is a compact modular termination panel for telephony and structured network cabling. The unit provides two 8‑pole RJ‑45 sockets with 8/8 LSA punchdown contacts, delivering a standardized interface for distribution frames and outlet consolidation in residential and commercial installations. Constructed from ABS, PBT and POM plastics and finished in white, the panel measures 65 × 80 × 26 mm and weighs 45 g, with an operating temperature range of 5–50 °C and IP20 protection.

Advantages

The module supports standard LSA punchdown terminations to simplify wiring changes and maintenance. Its small footprint and light weight enable easy installation in distribution cabinets and outlets. Materials selected (ABS, PBT, POM) ensure mechanical stability and electrical insulation while the dual RJ‑45 sockets provide two independent 8‑pair connections in a single unit.
