deleyCON

deleyCON terminates solid cable, and says so in the window

What deleyCON covers here

A continuity tester for network and telephone wiring, a shielded keystone jack, a twenty-four-port Cat 6 panel and a shielded plug that closes by hand onto an insulation-displacement strip.

The window that rules out half the drum

The jack and the plug both publish AWG 22 to 25 solid conductors and nothing else, which excludes every stranded patch lead — the distinction this shelf turns on, and one most listings leave the buyer to discover. The jack also prints the keystone aperture at 19.35 by 14.8 mm, which is the opening at the front of the frame rather than the room behind it.

Where the pages stop

The tester names the four faults it looks for one at a time and never says what it runs on. The panel publishes its outer dimensions to the millimetre, names its earthing cable and leaves the rear bar, the labelling and the fixings out. Module depth — the figure that decides whether a jack sits behind a plate at all — appears on none of them.

  • deleyCON black 24-port Cat 6 shielded patch panel for a 19-inch rack

    deleyCON 24-port Cat 6 shielded panel, 19-inch 1U, LSA+ termination, earthing lead supplied

    The full-width panel on this shelf, twenty-four screened Cat 6 ports terminated by punch-down, sold with its earthing cable named and its outer dimensions written out to the millimetre.

    Port count
    Twenty-four — stated in the title and in the first and second bullets, described as twenty-four screened LAN ports
    Rack units
    1U — stated in the second bullet. The fourth names 19-inch rack installation and gives the width as 48.3 cm, and the fifth gives the full outer dimensions as 483 mm wide, 44 mm high and 110 mm long
    Termination method
    LSA+ insulation-displacement — named in the second bullet as the connection technique and detailed in the third as an 8-pole IDC contact at the rear for rigid installation cable up to Cat 7, accepting solid conductors of AWG 22 to 26. Stranded conductors are not named
    Category rating
    Cat 6 — stated in the title and in the first and second bullets, with a transmission rate given as 1 Gbit and 250 MHz. The first adds compatibility with Cat 5e, Cat 6, Cat 6a and Cat 7 cable standards. It is the lowest category on this shelf
    Shielded or unshielded
    Shielded — stated in the title and in the first bullet, which describes twenty-four screened ports. The fourth names a metal housing and an earthing cable providing a secure connection, the only earthing lead named on this shelf
    Rear management bar
    Not published on the listing — no cable management bar is named at the rear. The third bullet describes the IDC contacts and the conductor range and stops there
    Labelling provision
    Not published on the listing — no labelling strip and no marker field is named. The colour markings for TIA568A and TIA568B described in the first bullet state a wiring order rather than identifying a port
    Fixings supplied
    Not published on the listing — no screws and no cage nuts are listed. The earthing cable named in the fourth bullet is the only accessory the page mentions, and it is described as a feature rather than as a contents line

    • Every outer dimension is printed, so it can be measured against a cabinet before ordering
    • An earthing cable is named, which no other panel on this shelf mentions
    • Cat 6 with 250 MHz, the lowest rating on this shelf, at the same price as a Cat 6A panel beside it

    Best for: A 19-inch cabinet where two dozen fixed runs come home to one place, and where the installation is gigabit rather than ten-gigabit.

  • deleyCON Cat 6a shielded keystone module in nickel-plated zinc with a snap-in body

    deleyCON Cat 6a shielded keystone jack, solid AWG 22-25, aperture 19.35 × 14.8 mm, pack of 4

    The one module in this hub that prints a dimension — a keystone aperture of 19.35 by 14.8 mm, which is the opening at the front and not the room behind it — and the one restricted to solid conductors alone.

    Category rating
    Cat 6a — stated in the title and the first bullet, with a maximum signal transmission of 500 MHz and support for 10 Gbit Ethernet and Power over Ethernet
    Termination method
    Toolless insulation-displacement, snap-in — stated in the first and second bullets as an RJ45 socket on one side and a toolless strip on the other, with the third bullet crediting the housing design with fast and secure contact without special tools. The fifth bullet gives the wire acceptance as solid conductor AWG 22 to 25, names no stranded range, and says the wiring order T568A and B is marked on the load piece itself
    Shielded or unshielded
    Shielded — stated in the title and the first bullet as STP, in a nickel-plated zinc die-cast housing
    Module depth
    Not published on the listing — the first bullet publishes a keystone opening of 19.35 by 14.8 mm, which is the aperture at the front. The dimension behind the plate, which is the one that decides whether a face plate sits flat, never appears
    Angled or straight body
    Not published on the listing — no exit angle is given. The fifth bullet says instead that the cable can be fed in through 180 degrees, which describes the approach rather than the body
    Colour options
    Not published on the listing — the only colour named is the T568A and B wiring order marked on the load piece
    Pack quantity
    Four — stated in the title
    Accessories included
    Not published on the listing — the fifth bullet describes the housing as one piece and reusable and says up to 24 modules fit a 1U panel of 483 mm, and nothing is named as supplied with them
    Amazon reference
    B0733C66WP (same reference on 5 Amazon marketplaces)
    EAN
    4250580136743
    • The only module on this shelf to publish a measured dimension of any kind
    • The wiring order is marked on the load piece rather than on the packaging
    • Solid conductors only, so a stranded patch lead cannot be terminated into it

    Best for: A fixed run of solid installation cable being terminated into a panel or a plate, where the aperture has to be matched to an existing frame.

  • deleyCON shielded Cat 6a RJ45 plug with strain-relief boot, one of four

    deleyCON Cat 6a IDC plug, solid conductors AWG 22-25, pack of 4

    A plug that needs no crimping tool at all, closed onto an insulation-displacement strip by hand — and one that publishes its conductor window as solid core only, which rules out every stranded patch lead.

    Category rating
    Cat 6a — stated in the title, with transmission to 10 Gbit/s and 500 MHz in the fifth bullet. Two standards are named in the first bullet, ISO/IEC 11801 and TIA568-C2
    Solid or stranded compatibility
    Solid only — stated in the second bullet as solid or full conductor at AWG 22 to 25, for rigid installation cable. Stranded conductors are never offered, and the fourth bullet lists only installation cable among the categories it suits
    Shielded or unshielded
    Shielded — stated in the title and in the first bullet. Nothing describes how the body bonds to the cable screen
    Accepted conductor diameter
    AWG 22 to 25 — stated in the second bullet as the conductor window. No figure in millimetres appears beside it, so a cable that publishes only a diameter has to be converted before it can be checked
    Accepted cable diameter
    Not published on the listing — the outside diameter of the sheath is never given, on a plug whose body has to close around it. A strain-relief boot is named instead
    Load bar presence
    Not published on the listing — the third bullet describes snap-in technology in which the conductors are pressed onto the insulation-displacement strip as the plug is closed. No separate lacing insert is named
    Pass-through or standard body
    Neither — this is a field-terminated insulation-displacement plug, stated in the first bullet as needing no crimping tool. Nothing describes conductors emerging at the front, and nothing describes a crimp
    Pack quantity
    Four — stated in the title
    Amazon reference
    B089T6TPSC (same reference on 6 Amazon marketplaces)
    EAN
    4250580147961
    • Terminated with no crimping tool, which removes the one purchase that stops most people making a lead
    • Names two standards rather than a category on its own
    • Solid conductors only, so it will not finish a stranded patch lead

    Best for: A repair or an extension on a fixed run of solid installation cable, made by hand at the point where the cable comes out of the wall.
