Kontakt-Simon Simon Basic RJ45 Category 6 Dual Computer Socket with Dust Shutter, Black BM62.01/49

The Kontakt-Simon Simon Basic RJ45 Category 6 Dual Computer Socket with Dust Shutter is a high-performance connectivity solution designed for modern networking requirements. This module provides two independent ports for high-speed data transmission, ensuring stable and reliable connections for computers, routers, and other network-enabled devices. Finished in a professional black color, it integrates seamlessly into any interior design while maintaining a clean, organized appearance in structured cabling systems.

Advantages

This dual computer socket offers exceptional signal integrity by meeting Category 6 standards, which supports high-bandwidth applications and minimizes crosstalk. The inclusion of integrated dust shutters is a significant benefit, as it prevents debris and dust from entering the ports when they are not in use, thereby extending the lifespan of the connectors and maintaining optimal contact quality. The modular design allows for easy installation in standard flush-mounted boxes, making it a versatile choice for both residential and commercial environments.

Suitable for

• Home office network setups
• Professional office workstations
• Smart home device connectivity
• Structured cabling in residential buildings

This socket may not be suitable for outdoor environments where it would be exposed to moisture or extreme weather conditions, as it lacks specific ingress protection ratings. Additionally, it is not intended for use with non-RJ45 cabling standards or industrial-grade harsh environments that require specialized ruggedized connectors.

Key specifications

• Connector type: Dual RJ45
• Category: 6
• Features: Integrated dust shutters
• Color: Black
• Mounting: Flush-mounted

To install the socket, ensure that the network cable is properly stripped and terminated according to the T568A or T568B wiring standard. Insert the wires into the corresponding slots on the module, secure them using a punch-down tool, and then mount the module into the wall box. Once installed, simply plug your Ethernet cable into the port to establish a network connection. The dust shutters will automatically retract when a cable is inserted and close upon removal.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing wall boxes are compatible with standard modular inserts.
• Ensure your network infrastructure supports Category 6 cabling for optimal performance.
• Check if the black finish matches your existing electrical switch and socket frames.

For the best performance, ensure that the cable runs are kept away from high-voltage electrical lines to prevent electromagnetic interference. Always use high-quality Category 6 patch cables to maintain the integrity of your network connection.
