Front plate 86 type, white, 1×RJ45 socket, FPL-1xRJ45

White 86-type front plate with one RJ45 socket, model FPL-1xRJ45, designed for mounting in standard 86 mm wall boxes. The plate provides a neat finish for a single Ethernet/network outlet and secures the female RJ45 jack inside the wall box. It is intended to organize cabling, protect the connector from dust and damage, and provide a stable fixed point for attaching patch cables or network devices.

Advantages

The front plate offers a flush, low-profile appearance that integrates into typical residential and office interiors. Made for standard 86 mm mounting, it simplifies installation by matching common wall box dimensions. The single RJ45 socket is positioned for easy access and reliable cable connection while the rigid plate protects against accidental bending or cable strain. The white finish matches many switch and socket ranges, enabling consistent visual alignment in multi-gang installations.

Suitable for

• Single Ethernet/network outlet in homes
• Office workstations requiring one fixed network connection
• Patch panel termination points where a tidy wall outlet is needed
• Replacing or upgrading existing single-gang wall plates

Key specifications

• Form factor: 86-type front plate for standard 86 mm wall boxes
• Connector: one female RJ45 socket (shielded or unshielded depending on installation)
• Color: white
• Material: rigid plastic suitable for wall mounting
• Mounting: screw holes compatible with 86 mm box mounting standards
• Compatibility: fits standard single-gang modules and common Ethernet keystones or pre-wired jacks

How to use

Turn off power to nearby electrical circuits if working adjacent to live wiring. Prepare the wall box and existing cable by pulling the terminated RJ45 jack or keystone into place. Align the front plate with the wall box so the RJ45 socket sits flush with the plate opening, then secure the plate using appropriate mounting screws into the box. After mounting, attach an Ethernet patch cable to the RJ45 socket and verify network connectivity. If replacing an existing plate, remove the old screws and disconnect the cable before installing the new plate.

Usage recommendations

Use the front plate with properly terminated RJ45 jacks or keystones rated for the network speed required (Cat5e, Cat6, etc.). Avoid overtightening mounting screws to prevent cracking the plastic. For shielded installations, ensure proper grounding of the keystone and box. Periodically inspect the socket for dust and debris and clean gently with compressed air if needed.
