• Mounting type: Wall-mounted
• Port configuration: Double

How to use

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician or an individual familiar with standard electrical and data wiring practices. The socket is designed to be mounted into a standard wall box. Begin by stripping the outer jacket of your Cat.5e UTP cable and terminating the individual wires into the internal IDC terminals according to the T568A or T568B wiring standard. Once the wires are securely seated, fasten the module into the wall box and attach the faceplate to complete the installation.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your existing network cabling is compatible with Cat.5e standards
• Verify that you have the appropriate wall box depth for installation
• Check if your network infrastructure requires shielded (STP) or unshielded (UTP) components

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, ensure that the cable twists are maintained as close to the termination point as possible and avoid sharp bends or excessive tension on the data cables during installation.
