Wall-mounted DS-IT DSIT Cat.6 Class E outlet, shielded, dual port 2× RJ45, white

DS-IT wall-mounted Cat.6 (Class E) outlet, shielded, with two RJ45 ports provides a compact surface-mounted network connection point for structured cabling installations. The white, dual-port faceplate is designed to support Gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed network protocols where Cat.6/Class E performance is required. Shielding reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference in environments with nearby electrical equipment or cabling.

Advantages

The outlet offers two independently wired RJ45 ports in a single slim surface-mounted housing that saves wall space and simplifies installation. As a shielded Cat.6/Class E component, it improves signal integrity and helps maintain higher data rates over copper cabling. Its standardized connector layout and compatibility with common keystone modules make it suitable for mixed-vendor installations and upgrades.

Suitable for

• Office workstations requiring reliable Gigabit Ethernet connections
• Server rooms and network closets for patch or access points
• Residential installations that need shielded connections to reduce interference
• Retrofit or surface-mounted cabling where in-wall routing is not possible

When it may not be suitable

This surface-mounted outlet is not intended for in-wall flush installations that require recessed boxes or aesthetic flush fitting. It is designed for use with shielded cabling systems; using it with unshielded cable will negate the benefit of the shielding. For applications requiring higher category performance than Cat.6/Class E, such as 10G over copper at longer distances, a higher-category outlet should be considered.

Key specifications

• Category/Class: Cat.6 / Class E performance for copper twisted-pair networks
• Ports: Dual RJ45 ports (2× RJ45) in a single surface-mounted unit
• Shielding: Shielded (STP) design to reduce electromagnetic interference
• Mounting: Surface-mounted (wall-mounted) housing suitable for retrofit installations
• Color and finish: White faceplate designed for standard interior environments

How to use

Mount the unit on a flat wall surface using appropriate screws and anchors for the substrate. Terminate each copper cable pair to the outlet's IDC or punch-down terminals following T568A or T568B wiring standard consistently across the installation. Ensure the cable shield is properly bonded to the outlet's shielding and to the building grounding system to maintain EMC performance. After termination, test each port with a certified network tester to verify pair continuity, wire map, and Cat.6/Class E performance parameters.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the cabling type: choose shielded twisted-pair (STP) if you require shielding benefits
• Decide on the wiring standard (T568A or T568B) and apply it consistently across all outlets
• Check wall surface and available space for surface-mounted installation and required fixing hardware
• Ensure grounding provisions are available to terminate the shield correctly

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate cable management and maintain separation from power lines where possible. After installation, perform certification testing to confirm Cat.6/Class E performance and document test results for network reliability and future troubleshooting.
