• Verify that the wall box depth is sufficient for the socket mechanism.
• Check if the anthracite finish matches your existing switch and socket frames.

Usage recommendations

For optimal network performance, ensure that the cable pairs are untwisted as little as possible during the termination process and maintain consistent wiring standards throughout your entire network installation.
