Product Information
Full details
This Legrand LCS2 Mosaic data junction box is designed for network professionals and IT installers seeking a reliable Cat6A STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) RJ45 socket. Its key benefit is providing robust, shielded network connectivity for high-speed data transmission. A potential caveat is its requirement for specific Mosaic system integration. This socket offers a single RJ45 outlet, supports up to 2 modules, features 360° metal shielding, and is designed for horizontal mounting within wall trays, ensuring a clean and protected installation.

FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the STP shielding?
The STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) shielding provides 360° metal protection that significantly reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, ensuring a more stable and higher-quality data signal, especially in noisy electrical environments.
Is this socket compatible with standard Cat6 cables?
While it can physically connect to Cat6 cables, it is optimized for and recommended for use with Cat6A STP cables to achieve its full performance potential and benefit from the shielding.
What does '2 modules' mean in the product description?
It refers to the space the socket occupies within the Legrand MOSAIC system. The MOSAIC system uses standardized modules, and this socket accounts for the space of two such modules.
Can I use this socket outdoors?
No, this socket has an IP20 protection rating, which means it is designed for indoor, dry environments and is not protected against water or dust ingress.
What type of connection does it use for network cables?
It uses Insulation Displacement Connectors (IDC) for connecting the network cable wires. This method is efficient and provides a secure connection.
What is the warranty period for this product?
Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer or manufacturer at the point of sale. Please refer to your purchase documentation or the Legrand website for specific warranty details.
How do I ensure proper shielding connection?
When terminating the STP cable, ensure the drain wire or the cable's metallic foil/braid is properly contacted with the designated shielding points on the socket itself, often a metal clamp or contact area.
Troubleshooting
No network connectivity through the socket.
Verify cable termination at both ends, ensuring all 8 conductors are correctly seated in the IDC terminals. Check that the cable shield is properly connected to the socket's shielding. Test the cable run independently if possible.
Slow network speeds or intermittent connection.
Ensure the cable is indeed STP Cat6A and not damaged. Confirm the shield is properly grounded. Check for excessive bending or kinking in the cable run. Verify that the connected network equipment also supports Cat6A speeds.
Difficulty terminating the cable.
Ensure you are using the correct tools for IDC termination. Make sure the cable jacket is stripped to the appropriate length, exposing the twisted pairs without damaging them. Refer to specific termination guides for STP cables.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-speed Cat6A performance for modern networks.
- Effective STP shielding reduces interference and improves signal quality.
- Durable aluminum construction ensures longevity.
- Compatible with the Legrand Mosaic system for integrated installations.
- Clean white finish for aesthetic appeal.
Cons
- Requires integration within the Legrand Mosaic system.
- Single RJ45 outlet may limit expansion without additional modules.
- Shielded construction may require more careful termination than unshielded options.
- IP20 protection rating means it's suitable for indoor dry environments only.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This socket is designed for mounting within the Legrand MOSAIC system. Installation typically involves terminating shielded twisted pair (STP) network cables using the IDC (Insulation Displacement Connector) terminals. Ensure the cable shield is properly connected to the socket's shielding mechanism for optimal protection.
Compatibility:
- System: Exclusively compatible with the Legrand MOSAIC modular system.
- Cable Type: Designed for Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) Category 6A networking cables.
- Connectors: RJ45.
Care:
To maintain performance and appearance, clean the socket periodically with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the material and finish. Ensure the area is dry before powering up any connected network equipment.
