Wall-mounted UTP CAT5E Socket 1xRJ45 DATACOM model 2360 for in-wall installation

Wall-mounted UTP CAT5E Socket 1xRJ45 DATACOM model 2360 is a single-port in-wall outlet designed for structured cabling in homes, offices, and small commercial environments. The socket accepts a standard RJ45 plug and meets CAT5E transmission requirements for Ethernet networks, providing a fixed, tidy termination point for desktop PCs, printers, routers or access points. It is intended for installation in standard flush-mounted wall boxes and integrates with existing cabling runs to simplify network distribution and voice/data connectivity.

Advantages

This DATACOM CAT5E wall socket offers a compact, low-profile design that keeps connections secure and concealed within a wall plate. The connector provides reliable electrical contacts compatible with UTP CAT5E cabling and supports typical Ethernet speeds for CAT5E infrastructure. Its construction allows easy termination and in-wall mounting, reducing cable clutter and creating a professional-looking outlet. The product is compatible with standard faceplates and installation practices used in residential and office cabling projects.

How to use

Install the socket into a standard flush-mounted wall box following local electrical and building codes. Terminate the incoming UTP CAT5E cable to the socket using the marked wiring scheme (T568A or T568B) and a compatible punch-down tool or IDC termination method. Secure the socket to the wall box with the provided screws and attach an appropriate faceplate if required. Once installed, plug an RJ45 cable into the front socket to connect devices such as computers, switches or access points to the network.

Usage recommendations

Use quality UTP CAT5E cable and observe consistent wiring standard (either T568A or T568B) across the installation to ensure proper connectivity. Avoid sharp bends and excessive tension on the cable near the termination point. Test each terminated port with a network cable tester to verify continuity and pair integrity before finalizing the installation.
