Socket outlet Karlik DGK-1 single RJ45 Cat5e 1x8-pin IP44 250V 16A

Karlik DGK-1 is a single-port wall-mounted RJ45 socket outlet designed for Cat5e network connections. It accepts standard 8-pin RJ45 plugs and is intended for Ethernet wiring in homes and offices where protection against splashes and dust (IP44) is required. DECO mechanisms and frames are sold separately; the socket can be combined with compatible DECO covers and frames. Some DECO sockets include embedded child-protection casings that limit access to live parts.

Advantages

The socket supports Cat5e connections through a single 8-pin RJ45 port, provides IP44 ingress protection suitable for areas with occasional splashes, and is rated for standard mains use at 250 V and 16 A. Its wall-mounted design fits typical in-wall installations and integrates with DECO series covers and frames (sold separately).

Suitable for

• Ethernet Cat5e connections in residential buildings
• Office network outlets for workstations or meeting rooms
• Areas requiring protection against splashes and dust (bathrooms, kitchens with constraints) where IP44 is sufficient

When it may not be suitable

This single-port RJ45 outlet provides Cat5e performance only; it is not intended for higher-category requirements such as Cat6 or Cat6a where greater bandwidth and shielding may be needed. Also, DECO frames and decorative covers are not included and must be purchased separately to complete the visible finish.

Key specifications

• Type: Single RJ45 socket, 8-pin
• Network category: Cat5e
• Voltage rating: 250 V
• Current rating: 16 A
• Ingress protection: IP44
• Mounting: Wall-mounted / in-wall installation

How to use

Install the Karlik DGK-1 into a compatible in-wall box following local electrical regulations and ensure power is disconnected before wiring. Connect the network cable pairs to the corresponding terminals according to standard Cat5e wiring (T568A or T568B), tighten the terminal screws, and secure the socket to the mounting box. Attach a DECO frame or cover (sold separately) if required for the finished appearance. After installation, plug in an RJ45 cable to verify network connectivity.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that Cat5e performance meets your network speed and bandwidth needs
• Ensure the installation location benefits from IP44 protection and that a compatible in-wall mounting box is available
• Plan to purchase DECO frames or covers separately if you need a finished visible trim
• Check whether child-protection casing is required or present in the chosen DECO model

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, use quality Cat5e cables and follow consistent wiring standards (T568A or T568B). If higher network speeds or future-proofing are required, consider selecting a higher-category outlet such as Cat6. Ensure installation is performed according to local codes and by a qualified installer where necessary.
