What is a VX Module?

1) First, to answer this question, let's show you VX Module's Description in details.
VX module also called as 1 pair dropwire STB module, with or without protection gel filled. We TAEPO has its series TP-1301-1, TP-1301-1G and TP-1301-1GP.
VX Module provides a connection point between an exchange-side cable pair and a distribution pair. It incorporates a 5-point plug in module to provide continuity and a range of other options. It is especially recommended for outdoor connections where the environmental conditions are extremely aggressive.

These VX modules are designed for mounting on a standard DIN rail and can therefore be mounted in a variety of housings in whatever quantities are required. The small footprint (2 cm wide) ensures a compact product.

These VX modules typically consists of a plastic housing with terminals or connectors for connecting the dropwire and the distribution cable. Without protection, it means that the module does not have any built-in safeguards or components to protect against surges, overvoltages, or other electrical disturbances.

The dropwire side of the VX module has insulation displacement contacts (IDCs) to facilitate the connection of the subscriber's dropwire. These contacts allow for a reliable and secure termination of the individual wires within the dropwire, ensuring good electrical connectivity.

On the distribution cable side, VX module may have IDCs as well, which are used to establish the connection with the main distribution cable. The distribution cable is typically a larger cable that carries multiple pairs of wires to serve multiple subscribers.

2) Second, let's learn VX Module's Main Features

Insulation Displacement Connection: IDC allows for the termination of wires without the need to strip off the insulation. The VX connection is made by displacing the insulation and making direct contact with the conductor within the wire.
Reliable connections: A reliable connection ensures that signals or data are transmitted consistently and accurately from the source to the destination without loss or distortion
Modular design and installations: Modular design and installations offer numerous advantages, including flexibility, scalability, simplified assembly, ease of maintenance, interchangeability, standardization, reduced failure risk, efficient testing, and cost savings.
Termination: The module provides a termination point for a single pair of copper wires from the subscriber's dropwire. It allows for a secure and reliable connection of the individual wires within the dropwire.
Connection points: The module includes terminals or connectors for connecting the subscriber's dropwire and the main distribution cable. These connection points are insulation displacement contacts (IDCs).
Compact design: The module is usually designed to be compact and easy to install. It can be mounted on walls, poles, or other suitable surfaces.
Durability: The module is built to withstand outdoor conditions and has a durable housing that protects the internal components from environmental factors such as moisture, dust, and temperature fluctuations.
Weatherproofing: It provides a barrier against moisture, preventing water ingress and protecting the internal connections from corrosion.
