Kontakt-Simon RJ45 Category 5e Unshielded Computer Socket Insert AMP

The Kontakt-Simon RJ45 Category 5e unshielded computer socket insert is a professional-grade networking component engineered for stable and efficient data transmission within structured cabling systems. Designed to meet Category 5e performance standards, this module ensures reliable connectivity for Ethernet networks in both residential and commercial environments. Its modular design allows for seamless integration into standard wall plates, providing a clean and organized finish for any network installation.

Advantages

This RJ45 socket insert offers excellent signal integrity for local area networks, supporting high-speed data transfer rates consistent with Cat 5e specifications. The unshielded construction is optimized for standard office and home environments where electromagnetic interference is within normal parameters. Its robust build quality ensures a secure physical connection, minimizing the risk of intermittent signal loss and providing long-term durability for daily network usage.

Suitable for

• Home office network setups
• Corporate office workstation connectivity
• Local area network (LAN) installations
• Connecting computers, printers, and VoIP phones to a network

This socket insert may not be suitable for environments with high levels of electromagnetic interference, such as industrial facilities with heavy machinery, where shielded cabling and components are required to prevent data corruption. It is also not intended for outdoor use or areas exposed to moisture without appropriate protective enclosures.

Key specifications

• Connector type: RJ45
• Category: 5e
• Shielding: Unshielded (UTP)
• Compatibility: Standard modular wall plates
• Application: Structured cabling systems

How to use

To install the Kontakt-Simon RJ45 socket insert, ensure that your Cat 5e network cable is properly stripped and the individual wires are terminated according to the T568A or T568B wiring standard using a compatible punch-down tool. Once the wires are securely seated in the insulation displacement connectors, snap the module into your chosen modular wall plate. Finally, mount the wall plate to the wall box and test the connection with a network cable tester to verify signal continuity.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing wall plates are compatible with modular inserts.
• Ensure the cable type (Cat 5e) matches your network infrastructure requirements.
• Confirm if your environment requires shielded (STP) or unshielded (UTP) components.

Usage recommendations

For optimal network performance, avoid sharp bends in the Ethernet cable during installation and ensure that the cable length does not exceed the 100-meter limit defined by the Category 5e standard.
