International Connectors and Cable IC110CB5PC 5-Pair Connecting Block

Overview

The International Connectors and Cable IC110CB5PC is a 5-pair connecting block designed for terminating 22-26 AWG solid copper wire in structured cabling systems. It provides a reliable and organized method for connecting and distributing telecommunications and data signals, ensuring clean terminations for network infrastructure. This block is essential for professional installations where signal integrity and ease of maintenance are critical.

Compatibility

This connecting block is designed for use with standard 22-26 AWG solid copper wire, commonly found in Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6A structured cabling installations. It is compatible with various telecommunications and data networking equipment that utilize punch-down termination methods. While not specific to any single manufacturer's system, it serves as a universal component for any installation requiring organized wire termination for up to 10 individual conductors (5 pairs).

Installation Notes

Use a standard punch-down tool (e.g., 110-style) to terminate wires. Ensure wires are stripped to the appropriate length (typically 0.25 inches) before insertion into the block to maintain signal integrity and prevent shorts. For optimal performance, use solid copper conductors within the specified gauge range (22-26 AWG). Avoid over-punching or excessive force, which can damage the wire or the block's contacts.
