Socket outlet Busch-Jaeger 0218/12-101 — 2× RJ-45 Cat6a, metallic, depth 31 mm

Busch-Jaeger 0218/12-101 is a metallic socket outlet with two RJ-45 ports designed for Cat.6A structured cabling. It supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet and provides shielded RJ-45 connections compliant with ISO/IEC 11801:2011 (Category 6A, Class EA) and relevant EN standards. The compact device has a mounting depth of 31 mm and accepts data cables with a diameter of 6–10 mm and conductor sizes AWG 24–22.

Advantages

The outlet offers angled cable entry and LSA insulation-displacement connection clamps for reliable termination without separate tools. It is tested for re-embedding and suitable for mix-and-match installations, supports PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) and at least 1000 mating cycles, and meets electromagnetic compatibility requirements (DIN EN 55022, Class B). Rear-side housing grounding is possible via a 6.3 mm flat connector, and the design allows flexible cable routing from all sides without kinking.

Suitable for

• Residential and commercial Ethernet networks up to 10 Gbit/s
• Structured cabling installations requiring Cat.6A / Class EA compliance
• Installations with PoE+ powered devices
• Mounting in trunking, flush-mounted device boxes, and underfloor systems

How to use

Prepare the data cable to the specified diameter range, select the required wiring scheme (A or B) and terminate the pairs into the LSA cutting clamps according to the printed color code. Route the cable into the outlet using the angled entry to avoid sharp bends and secure the housing; if required, attach a 6.3 mm flat connector to the rear for protective earth. Install the outlet into trunking, a flush-mounted device box or an underfloor module and connect network devices using compatible RJ-45 plugs.

Usage recommendations

For reliable 10-Gigabit performance, use shielded Cat.6A cabling and maintain proper grounding of the metallic housing. Observe manufacturer wiring markings and ensure cable bend radius is not exceeded during routing.
