FAQs
What does LCS2 mean?
LCS2 refers to Legrand's system for structured cabling, emphasizing easy and quick connections for network infrastructure components.
Do I need special tools to install this socket?
Yes, while the connection itself is tool-free in terms of traditional crimping, you will need the specific Legrand cutting clip tool designed for the LCS2 connector to properly seat and trim the wires.
Can I use this socket with shielded (STP) cables?
This socket is designed for UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cables. While it may physically accommodate STP cables, it does not provide the necessary shielding termination, potentially compromising the benefits of STP cabling.
What cable gauges are supported?
The socket supports single-core cables from AWG 22 to AWG 26 and multi-core cables AWG 26.
How do I know whether to use T568A or T568B wiring?
Both T568A and T568B are standard wiring schemes. Consistency is key; use the same scheme on both ends of your network cable run. T568B is more commonly used in North America.
What is the warranty period for this product?
Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer or distributor. Please refer to your purchase documentation or contact Legrand customer support for specific warranty details.
What are the physical dimensions of the socket?
The socket is 45 mm in width, 45 mm in height, and 25.2 mm in depth, occupying a maximum of 2 modules in a mounting system.
Troubleshooting
No network connectivity after installation
Verify that all wires are correctly seated in the LCS2 connector according to the chosen color standard (T568A or T568B). Ensure the cutting clip has properly terminated the wires and trimmed excess. Check the other end of the cable for proper termination and connectivity.
Slow network speeds or intermittent connection
Check for any damage to the cable or the socket. Ensure the cable is not excessively bent or kinked. Confirm that the cable category (Category 6) is appropriate for the network speed requirements and that the cable quality is sufficient. Re-terminate the connection if suspect.
Difficulty inserting wires into the connector
Ensure the cable wires are straight and not frayed. The LCS2 connector is designed for quick termination; ensure you are using the correct method with the cutting clip. Make sure the cable diameter falls within the supported AWG range (22-26).

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Prepare the network cable end, stripping the outer jacket to expose the twisted pairs.
- Separate the pairs and untwist them to align with the color code on the socket.
- Insert the individual wires into the appropriate slots on the LCS2 connector. Ensure wires are seated correctly according to the T568A or T568B color scheme.
- Using the provided cutting clip tool (sold separately or as part of a kit), press down firmly to simultaneously seat the wires and trim any excess.
- Mount the socket into a compatible support frame and plate.
