The Legrand SUNO RJ45 Cat 5e UTP single data socket is a high-quality networking component designed to provide reliable connectivity for local area networks in residential and commercial environments. Finished in a sleek aluminium tone, this socket integrates seamlessly into modern interior designs while offering robust performance for data transmission. It is engineered to support Cat 5e standards, ensuring stable and efficient network communication for computers, routers, and other Ethernet-enabled devices.

Advantages

This data socket stands out due to its durable construction and aesthetic versatility. The aluminium finish provides a professional look that complements contemporary decor, while the internal mechanism is built for long-term reliability and consistent signal integrity. Installation is straightforward, allowing for quick integration into standard wall boxes, which makes it an excellent choice for both new construction projects and renovation tasks where high-speed wired connectivity is required.

Suitable for

• Home office network setups
• Connecting desktop computers to local area networks
• Office workstation connectivity
• Smart home device integration requiring wired Ethernet

This socket may not be suitable for environments requiring shielded cabling, as it is designed specifically for UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) installations. It is also not intended for high-bandwidth applications exceeding Cat 5e performance standards, such as 10Gbps networks, where Cat 6a or higher components would be necessary.

Key specifications

• Connector type: RJ45
• Category: Cat 5e
• Shielding: UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair)
• Configuration: Single socket
• Finish: Aluminium

To use the Legrand SUNO RJ45 socket, ensure that your Cat 5e UTP 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 secured into the terminal block, the socket can be mounted into a standard wall box and finished with the appropriate faceplate. Ensure that the cable is not bent beyond its minimum bend radius to maintain optimal data transmission speeds.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing cabling infrastructure is compatible with Cat 5e UTP standards
• Ensure the wall box depth is sufficient for the socket mechanism
• Check if the aluminium finish matches your existing switch and socket collection

For optimal performance, avoid running Ethernet cables in close proximity to high-voltage power lines to prevent electromagnetic interference, and always use high-quality Cat 5e cabling to ensure the integrity of your network connection.
