Surface-Mount Shielded Cat6A 2-Port Data Outlet IT-BUDGET PoE+ capable, signal white

The IT-BUDGET Surface-Mount Shielded Cat6A 2-Port Data Outlet in signal white is a compact, wall-mounted network outlet designed for shielded Cat6A installations. It provides two structured-cabling ports in a universal faceplate format compatible with Cat6A keystone jacks and supports PoE+ power delivery for connected devices. The product is intended for situations where a robust, low-profile, and EMI-reducing outlet is needed for office, home, or small-network terminations.

Advantages

This surface-mount outlet combines Cat6A shielding with a two-port configuration to help maintain high-performance 10GBASE-T connections while reducing electromagnetic interference. Its universal faceplate design makes it compatible with standard Cat6A keystone modules, simplifying installation and replacement. Support for PoE+ allows network-powered devices such as IP phones, access points, and cameras to be fed directly through the data outlet without separate power cabling.

Suitable for

• Surface-mounted terminations in offices, home networks, and meeting rooms
• Shielded structured-cabling environments requiring Cat6A performance
• Deployments using PoE+ devices like wireless access points and VoIP phones
• Patch panel to wall outlet extensions and small server-room connections

When it may not be suitable

This outlet is intended for shielded Cat6A systems; it is not suitable where only unshielded UTP cabling is installed unless additional grounding and shield continuity measures are taken. It is a compact two-port surface box, so installations requiring larger multi-port faceplates or recessed outlets may need a different product.

Key specifications

• Category rating: Shielded Cat6A, suitable for 10GBASE-T
• Ports: 2 RJ45 keystone ports (faceplate accepts standard Cat6A keystone jacks)
• PoE support: PoE+ capable (IEEE 802.3at compatible when used with appropriate switch/injector)
• Form factor: Surface-mount / wall-mounted compact outlet
• Color: Signal white
• EMI protection: Shielded design to reduce electromagnetic interference

How to use

Mount the surface-mount box on the wall or other suitable flat surface using appropriate screws and anchors for the substrate. Install shielded Cat6A keystone jacks into the two faceplate openings and terminate the shielded Cat6A cables to the jacks following the manufacturer’s wiring scheme and shield grounding instructions. Ensure the outlet’s shield is properly connected to building earthing to maintain shield continuity. Connect the keystone jacks to patch cables or directly to network devices; when using PoE+ devices, verify that the upstream switch or injector provides compatible power.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your cabling is shielded Cat6A and that building grounding is available for proper shield termination
• Confirm compatibility of the keystone jacks you plan to use with the outlet faceplate dimensions
• Ensure your network equipment supports PoE+ if you intend to power devices via this outlet
• Assess whether a surface-mount form factor and two ports satisfy the installation requirements

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use certified shielded Cat6A keystone jacks and maintain continuous shielding to the building earth. Test each terminated link with a Cat6A-capable tester to confirm 10G readiness and validate PoE+ delivery when powering devices.
