Product Information

Full details

The Kenable 009152 is a Cat 5e Keystone module designed for easily connecting solid core Cat 5 or Cat 5e Ethernet cables to compatible wall plates. Its key benefit is the color-coded IDC termination, simplifying the termination process for users. A primary caveat is its limited compatibility, requiring specific Kenable wall plates for installation.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What type of cable does this keystone module support?

This module specifically supports Cat5e solid core Ethernet cables.

Which wall plates are compatible with this module?

The Kenable 009152 module is only compatible with Kenable Single QS wall plate (009148) and Double QS wall plate (009149).

What does IDC termination mean?

IDC stands for Insulation Displacement Connector. It's a type of connection where the wire is pushed into a slot, piercing its insulation to make electrical contact, which simplifies termination without needing to strip the wire ends.

How do I know which wire goes where?

The IDC terminals on the module are color-coded to match the standard color scheme for Ethernet cables, making it easy to match each wire to its correct terminal.

Can I use stranded Cat 5e cable with this module?

No, this module is designed exclusively for solid core Cat 5e cables. Using stranded cable may result in unreliable connections or failure.

What is the maximum data speed supported?

When used with proper Cat 5e cabling, this module supports data transfer speeds up to 1 Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T).

Does this module come with a punch-down tool?

No, this module is sold individually and does not include a punch-down tool. A separate IDC termination tool is required for installation.

Troubleshooting

No network connectivity after installation

Verify that all wires are correctly seated in the IDC terminals and match the T568A or T568B standard consistently at both ends of the cable run. Ensure the cable is properly seated in the RJ-45 port.

Slow network speeds or intermittent connection

Check for damaged wires or poor termination in the IDC blocks. Ensure the cable is not kinked or excessively bent. Confirm that the cable type used is indeed Cat 5e solid core.

Module does not fit into the wall plate

Confirm that you are using a compatible Kenable wall plate model (009148 or 009149). This module is not designed for universal keystone wall plates.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Color-coded IDC termination simplifies cable setup.
  • Supports reliable Cat 5e networking.
  • Includes a label holder for organization.
  • Compact and flat design.

Cons

  • Requires specific Kenable wall plates (009148, 009149) for use.
  • Only compatible with solid core Cat 5/5e cables.
  • Sold individually, potentially increasing cost for larger projects.
  • No integrated strain relief for the cable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure you have a compatible Kenable wall plate: Single QS (009148) or Double QS (009149).
  2. Prepare the solid core Cat 5 or Cat 5e cable by stripping the outer jacket.
  3. Gently untwist the pairs and arrange the individual wires according to the color codes on the IDC terminals.
  4. Use an IDC termination tool (punch down tool) to press each wire into its corresponding terminal on the module. This action cuts the excess wire and ensures a secure connection.
  5. Snap the module into the compatible wall plate.

Compatibility:

  • Cable Types: Cat5e solid core cables only.
  • Wall Plates: Only compatible with Kenable Single QS (009148) and Double QS (009149) wall plates.

Care:

  • Keep the module clean and free from dust and debris. Use a dry or slightly damp cloth for cleaning; avoid solvents or harsh chemicals.
  • Ensure connections remain secure to prevent signal degradation.
