Legrand 076576 RJ-45 STP Socket-Outlet, 2 Modules, White

The Legrand 076576 RJ-45 STP Socket-Outlet is a professional-grade connectivity solution designed to ensure stable and high-speed data transmission. Engineered for demanding network environments, this 2-module socket features robust construction and reliable performance for structured cabling systems. Its clean white finish allows it to blend discreetly into any modern interior, whether in a corporate office or a residential setting.

Advantages

This socket-outlet provides superior signal integrity thanks to its integrated 360-degree metal shielding, which effectively protects against electromagnetic interference. The 2-module design ensures compatibility with standard modular wall plates, facilitating a clean and organized installation process. Built to Category 6A standards, it supports high-bandwidth applications, ensuring that your network infrastructure remains future-proof and capable of handling intensive data traffic with minimal latency.

Suitable for

• Professional structured cabling installations
• High-speed office network environments
• Residential smart home data distribution
• Data centers and server room patch panels

When it may not be suitable

This socket is specifically designed for STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) cabling and may be overkill for basic UTP installations where shielding is not required. Additionally, it is intended for modular wall systems and may not be compatible with non-standard or proprietary surface-mount boxes without appropriate adapters.

Key specifications

• Socket type: RJ-45
• Category: 6A
• Cable type: STP
• Shielding: 360-degree metal
• Module configuration: 2 modules
• Color: White

How to use

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician to ensure proper termination of the STP cable. Begin by stripping the outer jacket of the shielded cable, ensuring the drain wire or shielding foil makes proper contact with the 360-degree metal housing of the socket. Follow the T568A or T568B wiring standard as required by your network configuration. Once terminated, snap the module into a compatible wall plate frame and secure it to the wall box.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing wall plate frames support a 2-module configuration.
• Ensure the use of STP cabling to fully utilize the shielding benefits.
• Check that your network hardware supports Category 6A performance standards.

Usage recommendations

For optimal network performance, always maintain the integrity of the cable shielding throughout the entire run and avoid sharp bends or excessive tension on the cable near the termination point.
