DATACOM FA 649D UTP Double Wall Socket Cat5e Surface Mounted 2x RJ45 45 Degrees White

The DATACOM FA 649D UTP Double Wall Socket Cat5e Surface Mounted 2x RJ45 45 Degrees White is a complete telecommunication solution designed for reliable network connections in residential and commercial environments. This unshielded double wall socket is built specifically for surface mounting above the plaster, providing a practical option where in-wall wiring is not feasible or required. Featuring two RJ45 ports angled at 45 degrees, it ensures convenient cable management and reduces strain on connected patch cords. Finished in a neutral white color, it blends seamlessly into standard interior decors while delivering stable Category 5e network performance.

Advantages

This surface-mounted socket offers a straightforward installation process directly on walls without the need for complex masonry work or cavity wall preparation. The 45-degree angled ports provide a significant ergonomic benefit by directing connected Ethernet cables downward, which minimizes bending radius and prevents accidental cable disconnections in tight spaces. Its LSA termination type allows for secure and efficient wire connection during setup. Being an unshielded Cat5e solution, it reliably supports standard local area network requirements for data transmission.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, printers, and IP devices to a local area network in offices
• Setting up network access points in residential rooms above plaster walls
• Deploying telecommunication connections in spaces where surface wiring is necessary
• Organizing dual network drops in commercial or educational workstations

When it may not be suitable

This product is unshielded, meaning it is not designed for environments with high electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling is strictly required. It is also intended exclusively for surface mounting, so it cannot be installed as a flush-mounted recessed outlet inside hollow or solid walls.

Key specifications

• Category 5e performance
• Two RJ45 unshielded ports
• 45-degree port angle
• Surface mounted design
• LSA termination field
• White color finish

How to use

To install the socket, first secure the housing base onto the wall surface using appropriate fixings. Prepare the incoming UTP network cable by stripping the outer jacket to expose the individual conductors. Use an LSA punch-down tool to terminate each wire securely into the corresponding slots of the telecommunication field according to the required wiring standard. Finally, snap or screw the cover housing onto the base to complete the installation before plugging standard RJ45 patch cables into the ports.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that surface mounting is suitable for your wall type and room layout
• Confirm that Category 5e performance meets your current and future network speed requirements
• Check whether unshielded UTP cabling matches your existing network infrastructure
• Ensure you have an LSA termination tool available for proper wire connection

For optimal network performance and longevity, ensure that cable bending limits are respected near the 45-degree angled ports and that wire terminations are performed securely using an appropriate LSA tool.
