The ACT FA6004 Surface Mounted Box Shielded 2 Ports CAT6 Network Wall Mount is a professional network accessory designed for reliable cable termination in structured cabling systems. This surface-mounted box features two shielded RJ-45 sockets and supports CAT6 performance standards, ensuring secure local area network connections while providing essential protection against electromagnetic interference. Compact in design, it integrates smoothly into various professional environments requiring orderly and stable network wiring.

Advantages

This shielded network wall mount offers dependable protection from electromagnetic interference, which helps maintain stable data transmission speeds in environments with high electrical noise. The durable construction utilizes a combination of quality ABS plastic and SECC materials for long-lasting performance. Installation is straightforward thanks to IDC compatibility with standard 110 and Krone tools, making it a practical choice for efficient network setup and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Terminating CAT6 network cables in office or commercial environments
• Setting up shielded wall connections for local area networks
• Professional structured cabling installations requiring electromagnetic interference protection

When it may not be suitable

This surface-mounted box is not designed for outdoor environments or areas exposed to high moisture, as it lacks weatherproof sealing. It is also unsuitable for unshielded cabling setups where electromagnetic interference protection is unnecessary or where different category standards like CAT5e or CAT7 are specifically required.

How to use

Begin by securing the surface-mounted box to the desired wall location using appropriate mounting hardware. Route the incoming network cable into the housing and strip the outer jacket carefully to expose the individual conductors. Use a compatible 110 or Krone punch-down tool to terminate the wires into the IDC blocks according to the designated wiring standard. Snap the housing securely into place once termination is complete, and connect your patch cables to the front-facing RJ-45 sockets to establish network communication.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing infrastructure utilizes CAT6 cabling standards
• Check if shielded connections are required for your specific installation environment
• Ensure you have a compatible 110 or Krone tool for wire termination
• Confirm that surface mounting is suitable for your wall type and layout

To ensure optimal network performance, always maintain proper cable management and avoid exceeding the recommended bend radii during installation and termination.
