Jasco’s Webb Industries has announced the availability in South Africa of a new Telegärtner connection module - the VM-Pro 8-8 Class FA - which enables fixed wiring for AWG 22-27 cables types without impairing transmission properties. It has a highly compact and stable structure with IP67 protection and a new, practical and aesthetic round shape. Its extremely robust design with a die-cast zinc housing is 360° shielded and insulated. Users can extend, repair or re-lay cables with it without having to re-lay the complete line.

The new VM-Pro 8-8 is insensitive to electrical interferences and for transmissions up to class FA (1.000 MHz); it connects or extends electrically shielded and unshielded installation and patch cables with solid and stranded conductors of the AWG 22-27 type. This allows EMC-secure connections in permanent wiring quality.

Water-tight, dust-proof EMC-secure connection
Telegärtner has placed great emphasis on user-friendly handling. For example the wires can be contacted simply by screwing. The connection is then reliably protected against water, dust and interference. The die-cast zinc housing also protects and assures mechanical stability. This makes the connection module ideal for use in the harsh environment of industrial communication networks and the connection of machines and plants.

The two ends of the installation cables are connected by IDC insulation displacement contacts. The wire pairs can be fed to the IDC terminal with the wire twisting retained.

Connection module saves rewiring
In addition to the new VM-Pro 8-8 Class FA, the long proven VM 8-8 Cat.7A connection modules in IP20 class of protection for connecting solid AWG22-26/1 conductors are still available. These Telegärtner connection modules are used whenever lines need to be extended or laid. Damaged cables can also be reconnected without having to re-lay the entire cable segment of a structured wiring. This saves users time and costs. One can connect 8-wire cables securely and safely virtually without impairing the transmission properties and without restricting the maximum link lengths.
