What type of cable should I use with this socket?
It is designed for solid wire data lines from AWG 26/1 to 22/1 and is compatible with Category 6 networking cables.
How do I terminate the network cable?
The socket uses LSA (IDC) insulation-displacement connectors, requiring an LSA installation tool for termination.
What are the color options for this socket?
The cover parts are available in pearl white (RAL 1013) and pure white (RAL 9010).
Is this socket suitable for a home network?
Yes, it is suitable for building a high-quality and future-proof wired network infrastructure for demanding home applications.
What does 'Alien Next optimized' mean?
It means the socket is designed to minimize crosstalk interference from adjacent cables, ensuring better signal quality.
Troubleshooting
No network connection after installation
Verify that all wires are correctly terminated on the LSA terminals according to the T568A or T568B standard. Check for continuity and correct pairing of wires. Ensure the cable shield is properly connected.
Slow network speeds or intermittent connection
Check for potential interference from nearby power cables or other network runs. Ensure the Cat.6 cable is used and undamaged. Verify that the connection is truly Cat.6 compliant throughout the entire cable run. Ensure the Alien Next optimization is not compromised by poor termination.
PoE device not receiving power
Confirm that the connected network switch or injector provides PoE and that the power budget (up to 90W) is not exceeded by other devices on the same switch. Ensure the network cable is of sufficient quality to handle the power transmission.
Physical damage to the socket
Inspect the unit for any visible cracks or damage. If damage is found, replace the unit to maintain network integrity and safety. Contact Metz Connect support if the damage occurred under warranty.
