Product Information
Full details
This Hager TN002S patch module is designed for network professionals and home users needing a reliable central connection point for Ethernet, IP, or Internet applications. Its key benefit is providing a shielded Cat6 RJ45 connection point for up to one device within a junction box. A potential caveat is its single-device connectivity, making it suitable for specific endpoint needs rather than broad network distribution.

FAQs
What is the maximum frequency supported by this module?
The module supports up to 250 MHz for Ethernet and data applications, and up to 900 MHz for TV signals.
Can I use this module for my home network?
Yes, it is suitable for establishing a reliable Ethernet connection point for a single device in your home network, such as a computer or gaming console.
What type of cable does this module support?
It supports solid and stranded core network cables of Category 6 (Cat6) with U/FTP (STP) shielding, compatible with AWG wire sizes 26 through 22.
How do I connect network cables to the module?
Network cables are terminated at the rear using punch-down connections, compatible with standard tools. The front features a standard RJ45 female port for connecting your device.
Is this module suitable for outdoor use?
This module is designed for indoor use within junction boxes or electrical enclosures. It is not rated for outdoor environmental exposure.
What does 'Angled' construction type mean?
The 'Angled' construction refers to the orientation of the RJ45 port relative to the mounting plane. This design helps manage cables more efficiently in tight spaces by directing the cable downwards or sideways, reducing stress.
What is the difference between shielded (STP) and unshielded (UTP) modules?
Shielded modules (STP/U/FTP) offer better protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, leading to more stable and faster data transmission, especially in noisy environments. Unshielded modules do not have this protective layer.
Troubleshooting
No network connectivity after installation
Verify all cable connections are properly terminated at the rear punch-down terminals and that the front RJ45 connector is fully engaged. Check cable integrity and ensure the connected device is configured for network access.
Slow network speeds or intermittent connection
Ensure the cable shielding is correctly terminated and grounded. Check for potential interference sources near the module and cable run. Verify that the connected cable is indeed Cat6 and not damaged.
Module does not snap onto DIN rail securely
Confirm you are using a standard 35mm DIN rail. Ensure the module's mounting clip is not obstructed or damaged and is properly aligned with the rail.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides shielded Cat6 connectivity for reliable data transfer.
- Angled design aids in tight space installations.
- DIN rail compatibility ensures easy integration into existing infrastructure.
- Supports a common range of network cable gauges (AWG 26-22).
- Suitable for specific endpoint connections like PCs, VoIP phones, or IP cameras.
Cons
- Only provides connectivity for a single device.
- May require additional components for a complete network connection point.
- Shielded nature requires proper grounding for optimal performance.
- Specific use case for central mounting in junction boxes.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the module is securely mounted onto a standard DIN rail within your chosen enclosure.
- Connect your network cable to the rear punch-down terminals, ensuring compatibility with the AWG range (26-22).
- Connect your network device (e.g., computer, router) to the front RJ45 female port.
- For optimal performance, ensure proper grounding of the module and enclosure.
Compatibility:
- Cable Types: Supports solid and stranded core U/FTP (STP) Cat6 network cables.
- Wire Gauge: Compatible with AWG 26 through AWG 22.
- Applications: Suitable for Ethernet (10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T), IP telephony, and Internet connectivity.
- Mounting: Designed for standard 35mm DIN rail.
Care:
- Keep the RJ45 port free from dust and debris. Use compressed air for cleaning if necessary.
- Avoid excessive force when connecting or disconnecting network cables.
- Wipe the exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth; avoid solvents or abrasive cleaners.
