On-Q Cat5e 8-Port Network Interface Module

The On-Q AC1058 is an 8-port Cat5e network interface module that brings router or switch signals to eight wired locations via front-mounted 110-IDC punchdowns and RJ-45 jacks.

Designed for structured home networks, the AC1058 lets you centralize Ethernet wiring inside On‑Q enclosures so streaming, gaming, and home office devices get reliable wired connections. It is UL listed and built to exceed TIA/EIA 568‑C.2 standards, offering professional-style patch‑panel termination for residential installations. The module installs into compatible On‑Q structured wiring boxes and gives installers and DIYers clear access to termination points and patch ports at the front face.

How does this module simplify wiring for a multi-room home network?

The AC1058 converts incoming backbone cables into accessible patch points, so each room's Ethernet run terminates cleanly on 110‑IDC slots while offering RJ‑45 jacks for quick connection. That separation of permanent terminations and live ports makes troubleshooting and reconfiguration straightforward.

• Eight 110‑IDC punchdown terminals for neat, long‑term terminations.
• Front‑facing RJ‑45 ports for easy device connections and testing.
• Patch‑panel style layout keeps wiring organized and serviceable.

What devices and uses are supported by the AC1058 module?

Any Ethernet‑enabled equipment that runs over Cat5e cabling can be connected through this module. Typical uses include PCs, smart TVs, streaming boxes, gaming consoles, IP cameras, and VoIP phones, where reduced latency and a stable link are desired compared with wireless only.

• Compatible with computers, smart TVs, and media streamers.
• Works with routers, managed switches, and home network controllers.
• Supports low‑latency needs like gaming and video calls when wired.

How is the AC1058 installed and maintained in On‑Q enclosures?

Installation involves mounting the module into an On‑Q structured wiring enclosure and terminating each run on the 110‑IDC clips. The front RJ‑45 jacks provide immediate access for patching or testing without disturbing the punched terminations behind them.

• Slides into standard On‑Q structured wiring enclosures for secure mounting.
• 110‑IDC terminations require a punchdown tool and follow standard T568 wiring schemes.
• Front ports allow quick verification with testers or temporary patch cables.

What performance and compliance can I expect from this network module?

The AC1058 is built to Cat5e performance levels and meets industry cabling standards, providing consistent signal integrity for typical residential Ethernet needs. It is UL listed, and exceeds the TIA/EIA 568‑C.2 cabling requirements, ensuring dependable installation practices and safety.

• Cat5e rated for up to 100 MHz signal frequency for standard Ethernet speeds.
• UL listing for component safety and manufacturing quality assurance.
• Conforms to TIA/EIA 568‑C.2 structured cabling specifications.

Who is this for: The On‑Q AC1058 is aimed at homeowners, integrators, and installers who want a tidy, professional approach to distributing wired network connections across a residence. If you plan structured cabling, need reliable wired links for entertainment or work, or are upgrading a home to support multiple wired devices, this module provides a compact, standards‑compliant patch interface that installs inside On‑Q enclosures for neat, serviceable wiring.
