DIGITUS DN-9010/8-2 CAT 6A Class EA Network Socket, Flush-Mounted, Shielded, 2 x RJ-45 Ports, White

The DIGITUS DN-9010/8-2 CAT 6A Class EA Network Socket is a reliable flush-mounted wall outlet designed for high-performance structured cabling environments. Featuring two shielded RJ-45 ports, this device supports high-speed data transmission up to CAT 6A standards and frequencies up to 500 MHz. Built from a combination of durable ABS synthetics and fully enclosing die-cast metal, it ensures complete shielding and long-lasting mechanical stability. Its clean white finish and design-compatible structure allow it to integrate smoothly into standard switch ranges and modern interiors.

Advantages

This network socket delivers exceptional signal integrity thanks to its complete shielding of both the RJ-45 sockets and LSA strips using a die-cast metal housing. Installation is simplified through color-coded LSA insulation displacement connectors supporting both EIA/TIA 568 A and B wiring standards. Integrated dust protection flaps safeguard the ports when not in use, while the built-in strain relief secures installation cables effectively. The flexible cable entry allows routing in four directions, and the 40-degree socket angle optimizes cable shunting in tight spaces.

Suitable for

• Professional office local area networks requiring 10GBase-T support
• Residential structured cabling and high-speed internet wall connections
• Power over Ethernet applications including IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at PoE+
• Flush-mounted and surface-mounted structured cabling installations

When it may not be suitable

This network socket is not compatible with R&M freenet patch cables, which may limit connectivity in specific proprietary setups. Additionally, it requires a minimum installation depth of 28 mm, making it unsuitable for extremely shallow wall boxes where sufficient clearance cannot be achieved.

Key specifications

• Category 6A Class EA performance
• 2 x RJ-45 shielded ports
• Frequency range up to 500 MHz
• Supports 10GBase-T and PoE+ applications
• Color-coded LSA strips for wire installation
• Die-cast metal and ABS synthetic housing
• White color in RAL 9003
• Dimensions: 80 mm width, 80 mm depth, 43 mm height

How to use

Prepare the installation cable by stripping the outer jacket to expose the individual solid or stranded conductors, ensuring compatibility with 22-26 AWG wire sizes. Route the cable into the junction box using one of the four available entry directions and punch the individual wires into the LSA strips following the color-coding for EIA/TIA 568 A or B. Secure the installation cable using the integrated strain relief mechanism to prevent accidental pulling forces on the contacts. Finally, mount the central plate and frame into the flush-mounted or surface-mounted box, ensuring the correct installation depth of at least 28 mm is maintained.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your wall installation box provides a minimum depth of 28 mm
• Confirm compatibility with your existing switch ranges if matching a specific design frame
• Check that your patch cables are standard RJ-45 types and not R&M freenet variants
• Ensure your network architecture requires CAT 6A performance standards

Always route and terminate installation cables carefully without exceeding the recommended bending radii to maintain optimal signal performance and compliance with ISO/IEC 11801 standards.
