Suitable for

• Home office network setups
• Corporate office workstations
• Residential internet distribution points
• Smart home device connectivity

This socket is not suitable for shielded (STP/FTP) cabling requirements, as it is specifically designed for UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) systems. It should not be used in environments where high levels of electromagnetic interference are present, as it lacks the necessary shielding to mitigate such signal disruptions.

Key specifications

• Connector type: 2x RJ45
• Category: Cat 6
• Cable type: UTP
• Mounting: Flush-mounted
• Color: White
• Series: Lumina 2

To install the Hager WL2160, ensure that the power is disconnected if working near electrical lines. Strip the outer jacket of your Cat 6 UTP cable and arrange the individual wires according to the T568A or T568B wiring standard as indicated on the internal terminal block. Use a compatible punch-down tool to secure the wires into the IDC connectors. Once the connections are verified, secure the socket into the wall box and attach the faceplate to complete the installation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing network cabling is UTP Cat 6
• Ensure the wall box depth is sufficient for flush mounting
• Check if your network infrastructure requires shielded or unshielded components

For optimal network performance, always maintain the correct twist rate of the wire pairs as close to the termination point as possible and avoid sharp bends in the cable during installation.
