Surface-mounted Cat6a computer socket electro base 6A-SS-2xRJ45 with 2x RJ45 ports

Surface-mounted Cat6a computer socket by electro base, model 6A-SS-2xRJ45, provides two RJ45 ports with Cat6a-class performance for high-speed Ethernet connectivity. The unit is intended for surface installation where in-wall mounting is impractical or undesirable, enabling reliable network access for workstations, home networking points, and office environments. The compact surface enclosure houses two standard RJ45 connectors and supports Cat6a cabling to maintain signal integrity for Gigabit and higher-speed Ethernet links.

Advantages

The surface-mounted design simplifies installation without the need to open walls or run flush-mounted boxes, reducing installation time and disruption. Two RJ45 ports in one module allow a single outlet to serve multiple devices or provide a convenient uplink and workstation connection. Constructed to meet Cat6a performance expectations, the socket helps preserve bandwidth and minimize crosstalk when paired with appropriate Cat6a cabling and compliant network hardware.

Suitable for

• Office desks and open-plan workstations where surface wiring is preferred
• Home network points where in-wall installation is not possible
• Temporary installations, meeting rooms, and hot-desk zones
• Upgrading older outlets to Cat6a performance without major renovation

Key specifications

• Form factor: surface-mounted socket with integrated enclosure
• Ports: 2 × RJ45 keystone-style ports
• Cable category: supports Cat6a cabling performance
• Application: Ethernet networking for Gigabit and higher speeds
• Installation: surface installation suitable for exposed cable runs

How to use

Mount the enclosure on a flat surface using suitable screws or adhesive anchors appropriate for the mounting substrate. Terminate Cat6a patch cable or permanently wired Cat6a conductors to the rear side of each RJ45 port following the T568A or T568B wiring standard, taking care to maintain pair integrity and correct pair orientation. After termination, secure the cabling within the enclosure and close the cover. Connect network devices using standard RJ45 patch cords to the front ports. Verify link speed and signal integrity using network diagnostic tools if required.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use Cat6a-rated cables and compatible network switches or NICs. Maintain proper cable bend radius and avoid running data cables in close parallel to strong electrical sources. Choose the appropriate wiring standard (T568A or T568B) consistently across the installation to ensure proper connectivity.
