DIGITUS DN-9008-1 CAT 6A Class EA Network Socket Shielded Flush-Mounted White 2 x RJ-45

The DIGITUS DN-9008-1 CAT 6A Class EA Network Socket is a shielded flush-mounted networking outlet finished in white, engineered for high-performance data transmission in structured cabling systems. Featuring two RJ-45 ports and a design-compatible structure, this outlet integrates seamlessly into modern home and office environments while delivering reliable Ethernet connectivity. The unit utilizes a robust die-cast metal housing to provide complete shielding against electromagnetic interference, ensuring stable signal integrity for demanding network applications.

Advantages

This network socket offers exceptional signal transmission quality compliant with Category 6A standards, supporting frequencies up to 500 MHz and 10GBase-T Ethernet speeds. The fully enclosing die-cast metal housing guarantees complete shielding of both the RJ-45 sockets and the LSA strips, protecting data streams from external interference. Installation is simplified through color-coded LSA strips following EIA/TIA 568 A and B standards, complemented by integrated strain relief and a 40-degree socket angle for organized cable management. Additionally, the central plate includes integrated dust protection flaps and a standard design that matches common switch ranges.

Suitable for

• Setting up high-speed 10GBase-T wired Ethernet networks in residential homes
• Upgrading office structured cabling systems to Category 6A performance
• Connecting PoE-enabled devices such as IP security cameras and access points
• Flush-mounted installations in walls or surface-mounted junction boxes

This socket may not be suitable for industrial environments exposed to extreme moisture or corrosive elements outside the specified operating temperature range of minus twenty to plus seventy degrees Celsius. It is also incompatible with R and M freenet patch cables and cannot accommodate core receptacles outside the twenty-two to twenty-six AWG solid and stranded conductor range.

Before installation, ensure that the incoming Ethernet cables match the supported 22-26 AWG conductor sizes and that compatible patch cords are used. Verify whether flush-mounted or surface-mounted installation boxes are required for your specific wall setup. Confirm that the surrounding switch range frames are compatible with the central plate dimensions if aesthetic matching is a priority.

What to consider before purchase

• Compatibility with your existing wall switch frame designs
• Availability of proper termination tools for LSA insulation displacement connection strips
• Required cable category of your existing network infrastructure
• Physical depth available in the wall mounting box

Always disconnect power sources before working on electrical or networking installations and follow professional cabling standards to ensure optimal data transmission performance and safety.
