Product Information
Full details
This Legrand data socket (model 076561) is for professionals integrating network connectivity into wall channels, floor boxes, or directly into floors. Its key benefit is providing reliable Category 6 UTP connectivity with a tool-free, quick-connect mechanism. A minor consideration is its single-module design, which may require multiple units for extensive networking needs.

FAQs
What is the maximum data speed supported by this socket?
This socket is Category 6 rated, supporting speeds up to 1 Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) and bandwidths of up to 250 MHz.
Do I need special tools to install this data socket?
No, the socket features a tool-free quick connect mechanism (LCS2) for easy cable termination without the need for traditional crimping tools.
What types of network cables can I use with this socket?
It is designed for Category 6 UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cabling and is compatible with AWG 22-26 single-core and multicore cables.
Can I use this socket for shielded (STP) cables?
This model is specifically a UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) socket and is not designed for use with shielded cables.
What is the difference between T568A and T568B wiring?
T568A and T568B are two different wiring standards for Ethernet cables. For a standard patch cable connecting two different devices (like a PC to a switch), consistency is key. Most modern installations use T568B, but either is acceptable as long as both ends of the cable use the same standard.
How many network ports does this unit provide?
This is a single-module socket, providing one RJ-45 port.
What does 'Mosaic switch range' refer to?
Mosaic is Legrand's modular system for electrical installations, allowing various mechanisms like switches, outlets, and data sockets to be combined in a consistent frame and plate system.
Troubleshooting
Slow network speeds or intermittent connection
Verify that the cable is properly terminated according to the T568A or T568B standard. Check for any kinks or damage to the cable. Ensure the connected device's network interface card (NIC) supports Category 6 speeds. Confirm that the connected network switch or router port also supports Category 6.
Difficulty terminating the cable
Ensure you are using cables within the specified AWG range (22-26). Make sure the wire conductors are properly seated in the LCS2 connector slots before engaging the tool-free mechanism. Double-check the color coding alignment.
Socket not fitting into the plate/frame
Confirm that you are using a compatible Legrand Mosaic support frame or plate. Ensure the mounting clip is correctly positioned for engagement.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Easy and fast termination with the tool-free LCS2 connector.
- Supports high-speed Category 6 networking standards.
- Compact design integrates well into various installation environments.
- Clear color coding (T568A/B) simplifies wiring.
- Durable build quality from Legrand.
Cons
- Limited to a single module, potentially requiring multiple units.
- Requires specific cable types (AWG 22-26) for optimal connection.
- Unshielded (UTP) design may be less suitable for highly noise-sensitive environments.
- Primarily designed for integration into existing support systems.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Prepare the cable end, ensuring wires are stripped to the appropriate length.
- Insert the individual conductors into the corresponding slots on the LCS2 connector, following the T568A or T568B color code.
- Use the integrated crimping mechanism to secure the wires. The tool-free design ensures a firm connection.
- Mount the socket into a compatible Mosaic support frame or plate, securing it with the provided clip.
Compatibility:
- Compatible with AWG 22-26 single-core and multicore twisted pair cables.
- Designed for integration into Legrand's Mosaic switch range and other compatible supports (wall channels, floor boxes).
- Meets ISO/IEC 11801 Ed. 2.0, amendment 2, EN 50173-1, and TIA/EIA 568 C standards.
Care:
- Wipe the glossy plastic plate with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Ensure connections remain clean and free from dust for optimal performance.
