FAQs

Does this module require any tools for installation?

No, the module is designed to press into compatible faceplates, and the stub is pre-assembled, requiring no tools for its connection.

What is the length of the cable stub?

The ready-made cable stub is 15cm in length.

Can I use this with any faceplate?

It is designed to fit Kenable faceplates that accommodate these specific modules. Compatibility with other brands is not guaranteed.

What is the purpose of the blanking plate?

If you are installing a faceplate with multiple openings but only using one or a few of the ready-made stubs, a blanking plate covers the unused openings for a cleaner look.

Can I connect a microphone to this module?

This module is designed for 3.5mm stereo jack connections, typically used for audio output or line-level input. While a microphone might have a 3.5mm plug, its impedance and signal level may not be suitable for this type of connection without an appropriate adapter or interface.

How do I clean the module?

Use a dry, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the front socket. Avoid using liquids or cleaning agents.

What type of audio signal does it support?

It supports standard 3.5mm stereo jack audio signals.

Troubleshooting

No audio output/input.

Check that the 3.5mm jack is fully inserted into both the front and rear sockets. Verify the audio source and output devices are functioning correctly. Ensure the cable used to connect to the rear socket is not damaged.

Audio is intermittent or crackly.

Ensure the connections are secure. Clean the contacts on the jack plug and socket with a dry cloth. Check the integrity of the cable connected to the rear of the module; a damaged cable can cause poor signal.

Module does not fit the faceplate.

Confirm you are using a compatible Kenable faceplate designed for this module type. Ensure the module is correctly aligned before pressing it into place.

Insufficient space behind the faceplate for the stub.

This module requires a deep back box. If a standard back box is installed, you may need to upgrade to a deeper one or reconsider the installation location.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • No soldering required, making installation simple and fast.
  • Pre-assembled 15cm stub saves time and effort.
  • Allows for neat, customized faceplate configurations.
  • Provides a secure and reliable 3.5mm stereo jack connection.
  • Easy to integrate into existing faceplate systems.

Cons

  • The fixed 15cm stub length might be too long or too short for some installations.
  • Requires a deep back box for sufficient space behind the faceplate.
  • Blanking plates are needed if fewer than the maximum number of stubs are used on a multi-gang plate.
  • Not suitable for applications requiring different connector types.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Select a compatible faceplate (Single Gang fits up to two stubs, Double Gang fits up to four).
  2. If using fewer stubs than the plate allows, use a blanking plate (e.g., Kenable 04802) to cover unused openings.
  3. Press the ready-made faceplate stub into the designated opening on the faceplate. Ensure it clicks securely.
  4. Install the faceplate onto a deep back box in the wall, ensuring enough room for the 15cm stub at the rear.
  5. Connect your audio device to the rear 3.5mm socket.

Compatibility:

  • Works with Kenable faceplates designed for these modules.
  • Requires a deep back box for installation.
  • Compatible with any device featuring a 3.5mm stereo jack.

Care:

  • Clean the front socket with a dry or slightly damp lint-free cloth only. Avoid liquids or abrasive cleaners.
  • Ensure connections are secure to maintain audio quality.
