FAQs

What tools do I need?

You will need an IDC termination tool, wire strippers, and a screwdriver.

What is the TIA/EIA-568-B wiring?

It is the standard color-coding scheme used on the back of the keystone jack for easy wiring.

Can I use TIA/EIA-568-A wiring?

Yes, but you will need to obtain a wiring diagram, as the faceplate is labeled for TIA/EIA-568-B.

What is a 'straight through' cable?

It is a cable wired using the same wiring variant at both ends. It's used to connect a PC to a Hub/Router.

What is a 'cross-over' cable?

It is a cable used for connecting two computers directly to one another without a Hub or Router. It uses TIA/EIA-568-A wiring at one end and TIA/EIA-568-B at the other.

How do I mount the faceplate?

The faceplate is fitted to a standard single back box using the included fixing screws, just like an aerial socket or power outlet.

Troubleshooting

Network connection not working

Check the wiring at both ends of the cable, ensuring all wires are properly connected using the IDC tool. Verify that the correct wiring configuration (straight through or crossover) matches the device requirements.

Slow network speed

Ensure the Cat6 cable is not damaged. Check the connections at both ends of the cable for proper contact. Verify that the network devices are capable of supporting Cat6 speeds.

Faceplate doesn't fit the back box

Ensure that the back box is a standard single-gang size. Check for any obstructions within the back box that might prevent the faceplate from sitting flush.
