Socket outlet ABB TANGO single RJ45 Cat6 UTP, white

The ABB TANGO single RJ45 Cat6 UTP socket outlet in white is a recessed wall plate designed for structured network cabling. It provides a single Cat6-rated RJ45 port suitable for wired Ethernet connections and is compatible with standard single-gang mounting boxes. The compact design offers a tidy, permanent network connection point for residential and small office environments where a single network outlet is sufficient.

Advantages

This single-gang socket delivers Cat6 performance for reliable Gigabit Ethernet transmission over UTP cabling, ensuring predictable data rates for network devices. The white finish and minimal profile integrate discreetly with interior decor, while the standardized form factor simplifies installation into existing mounting boxes. Built to industry cabling standards, the outlet provides a secure, stable connection for patch cables and reduces wear on device ports compared with frequent direct plugging.

Suitable for

• Home network installations requiring a single fixed Ethernet outlet
• Small office workstations or meeting rooms with one wired device
• Points where a recessed, neat LAN connection is preferred over exposed cabling
• Upgrades from older network standards to Cat6 performance

Key specifications

How to use

Prepare the mounting location by switching off power to the installation area and confirming the wall box is correctly positioned. Terminate the unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) Cat6 cable on the rear contacts following the T568A or T568B wiring standard as required by your network. Insert the module into the single-gang mounting box and secure the faceplate with the provided screws, then attach a Cat6 patch cable to the front RJ45 port to connect devices such as PCs, routers, or switches. After installation, verify connectivity and link speed using a network tester or by checking device network status.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use certified Cat6 UTP cable and maintain correct pair untwisting limits when terminating the connector. Choose the same wiring standard on both ends of the link and avoid running network cabling parallel to high-voltage electrical lines to reduce interference. Periodically inspect the outlet and patch cables for wear and replace damaged connectors to preserve reliable network performance.
