Varilight 1 Gang White Cat5e Networking Socket Screwless Antimicrobial/Antiviral Unlaquered Copper Cu29

Description

Description Varilight 1 Gang, Cat5e RJ45 Socket, on a Single Data Grid Plate, used for ethernet computer networks, one of the most common Networking sockets in the home and office. ………………………………………….. VARILIGHT sockets have an industry-wide reputation for exceptional performance, long life and innovation at attractive prices. ………………………………………….. The Varilight socket, like all our products, is designed to meet the latest European Safety Legislation. ………………………………………….. It is important to select the correct socket for your application, so please read the following information carefully, if need be look at PDF manuals, and if you are still unsure, then contact us. ………………………………………….. Appearance, Function and Applications The Data Grid Range enables you to choose data modules to fit onto these special single and double face plates. There are numerous modules available including audio, TV & Satellite, data networking and telephone all of which can be mixed and matched on one plate to meet your requirements. The Data Grid system is very simple to assemble, the modules just clip into the Data Grid Faceplates. Now available is the Data Grid+ Inserts Range, which allows mixing of power sources like unswitched sockets with any of the modules in the Data Grid Range. ………………………………………….. In light of the current ongoing outbreak of Human Coronavirus (Covid-19), we arehighlighting the availability and effectiveness of Varilight’s Antimicrobial Copper Cu29 range ofswitches & sockets in protecting against viruses. Antimicrobial copper works alongside routine cleaning and sanitisation procedures toreduce the spread of infection, making this range ideal for healthcare and domesticenvironments. Research from the University of Southampton found that a coronavirus (in this case HuCoV-229E) died on copper surfaces within minutes compared to many days on some othersurfaces.* * Excerpt from: Warnes SL, Little ZR, Keevil CW. 2015. Human coronavirus 229E remains infectious on commontouch surface materials. mBio 6(6):e01697-15. doi:10.1128/mBio.01697-15: On copper, and a range of copper alloys — collectively termed ‘antimicrobial copper’ — the coronaviruswas rapidly inactivated (within a few minutes, for simulated fingertip contamination). Exposure to copperdestroyed the virus completely and irreversibly, leading the researchers to conclude that antimicrobialcopper surfaces could be employed in communal areas and at any mass gatherings to help reduce the spreadof respiratory viruses and protect public health. Germs die rapidly on copper, which keeps working 24/7, in between regular cleans. OurTarnishing Antimicrobial copper range is made from solid copper so this effect won’treduce overtime. Normal tarnishing or wear of Antimicrobial Copper surfaces will not impair theantiviral effectiveness of the product. ………………………………………….. Although the Antimicrobial/Antiviral Copper range was designed to manage germs on contact, this range can also be used in properties requiring a distressed finish, as they develop a natural patina. This patina can be reset by polishing with Brasso or similar, which removes all patina effects and allows you to add a different distressed finish to your own taste. Alternatively, if you require a polished copper finish, then regular cleaning is a must. ………………………………………….. The VARILIGHT Antimicrobial/Antiviral Copper range is made from un-lacquered and un-coated solid copper and comes complete with solid copper switch rockers to ensure maximum Antimicrobial/Antiviral efficacy and carries the Cu29 logo. Clip on faceplates remove the need for visible fixing screws, providing a flat surface to facilitate cleaning. Normal tarnishing of Antimicrobial/Antiviral copper surfaces will not impair the antibacterial effectiveness of the product. ………………………………………….. ………………………………………….. Please Note: These products are Anti-Microbial Unlaquered Copper, therefore they tarnish as expected. If you prefer a lacquered version, look at Urban Polished copperCat5 Vs Cat6 Cat5 & Cat6 sockets and cables are used for a variety of applications, it is most often used for ethernet networking, eg. connecting computers, laptops, TVs, TV channel boxes and servers, etc, to modems and wifi boxes/wireless routers. There are many reasons for network cables and sockets to be installed in houses and offices over enhanced wifi signals: it gives more capability in every room/office space to get instant access to the internet without boosting a wifi signal. The other main reason is wifi signal isn’t the healthiest way of being on the internet, wifi signal is a form of EMF radiation, by cutting out the wifi signal and connecting directly to a router will reduce headaches, brain fog and other problems (especially if your wifi is on 24/7!) So what is the difference between Cat5, Cat5e & Cat6? Mainly Crosstalk and high speeds. In a nutshell, Cat5 was the most commonly used networking ethernet cable in the home, but when there is a mass of cables (from electronic equipment, etc) that are close to each other, it can cause interference, also known as Crosstalk. Cat5e (Enhanced) is far better nowadays than the older Cat5. Cat5e has significantly improved performances including 10x faster speeds and reduced Crosstalk. Although, in these conditions, i.e. grouping of cables, or for best performance it’s wise to opt for Cat6, as it reduces errors and lost packets. Therefore, if you are considering creating a new wired network in the home, Cat6 would be the best route foward. Please note that both Cat5e and Cat6 cable end plugs fit both networking sockets, meaning if Cat6 is installed in your house, you can still run a Cat5e cable from your laptop and it will still work. If you do require to future-proof your home then opt for Cat6A ethernet cables to create networks, as there is no loss of data on long runs of cables. On the horizon is Cat8, this product will be able to support greater bandwidth and much larger data speeds, although Cat8 would be used mainly in the business sector e.g. data centres and server rooms, and not so common in the home. ………………………………………….. Cleaning Please follow the instructions on cleaning below, which is also shown in the instructions provided with the product. Never apply masking tape or other similar tape to the product. Avoid the use of any cleaning chemicals and always use a Gasket on freshly plastered, painted or damp walls as the plates may tarnish. (Plaster can take up to 6 months to dry out). A Gasket can be made from the packaging the product comes in, or a plastic bag can be cut to stop the plate touching the plaster. Unfortunately, if these Instructions are not followed, and the plate is damaged, it will void the product warranty. ………………………………………….. Please Note: These products are Anti-Microbial Unlaquered Copper, therefore they tarnish as expected. If you prefer a lacquered version, look at Urban Polished copper ………………………………………….. Cleaning and sanitisation This product will develop a natural patina. Routine cleaning and sanitisation procedures must continue to be implemented to reduce the potential for infection and to keep the Antimicrobial/Antiviral Copper Alloy surface free of dirt and grime that could prevent contact with the surface and inhibit Antimicrobial/Antiviral performance. The appropriate cleaning agent depends on the type of soiling and the measure of sanitisation required. To remain effective the surface must not be coated in any way. Do not wax, paint, lacquer, varnish, or otherwise coat this product. Normal tarnishing or wear of Antimicrobial/Antiviral Copper Alloy surfaces will not impair the antibacterial effectiveness of the product. An effective cleaning agent for use on Antimicrobial/Antiviral copper product is citric acid. Apply a small amount to a polishing cloth and lightly wipe the affected area. …………………………………………..
