Surface-mounted Network Outlet LOGILINK Cat.6A 2× RJ45 Unshielded (NP0101)

LOGILINK Cat.6A surface-mounted network outlet with two RJ45 ports (unshielded) is designed for Cat6A / Class EA structured cabling. The compact surface box provides two terminations for Ethernet connections and supports higher data rates and improved alien crosstalk performance compared to lower categories. The unit is intended for installations where wallbox mounting is not possible or where surface cabling is preferred; it enables quick connection of network devices in home, office, or small data network environments.

Advantages

The outlet supports Cat6A/Class EA channel performance and provides two independent RJ45 ports in a single surface-mounted enclosure for flexible network distribution. Its unshielded design simplifies installation with common UTP cabling and avoids the need for additional grounding. The surface-mounted box allows installation on any flat surface without in-wall cutting, making it suitable for retrofit and temporary installations while maintaining professional termination points for patching and device connections.

Suitable for

• Home networking where in-wall installation is impractical
• Small office or workstation installations requiring two network ports
• Temporary or retrofit network extensions and pop-up work areas
• Structured cabling that conforms to Cat6A/Class EA performance expectations

When it may not be suitable

This unshielded surface-mounted outlet is not suitable for environments that require shielded connections or enhanced electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection, such as industrial sites with high electrical noise or installations that mandate STP/FTP cabling and grounded metal faceplates. It also does not replace a full patch panel or keystone distribution in larger data center deployments where rack-mount solutions and high port density are required.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6A / Class EA channel-compatible for up to 10 Gbps Ethernet over suitable cabling
• Connector type: 2 × RJ45 female ports (unshielded)
• Mounting: surface-mounted box for wall or panel installation
• Application: supports unshielded twisted pair (UTP) Cat6A cabling
• Color: white (similar to RAL 9003)

How to use

Install the surface-mounted box on a flat wall or panel using appropriate screws and anchors. Prepare and terminate Cat6A UTP cable pairs to the IDC/termination points inside the enclosure following T568A or T568B wiring standards, ensuring correct pair orientation and solid contacts. Close the housing and connect patch cables to the RJ45 ports for devices such as PCs, switches, or access points. Test each port with a network cable tester to verify pair continuity and channel performance after termination and patching.

What to consider before purchase

• Whether unshielded (UTP) Cat6A meets site requirements or shielded cabling is required for EMI-sensitive environments
• Compatibility with the chosen wiring standard (T568A/T568B) and installer familiarity with IDC terminations
• Required aesthetic color and whether the white housing (similar to RAL 9003) fits the installation environment
• Number of ports needed per location and whether a dual-port surface outlet is sufficient

Usage recommendations

For best results, use certified Cat6A UTP cable and verify terminations with a qualified tester. Maintain correct pair untwisting length and secure cable strain relief inside the surface box. Where greater EMI protection is needed, select a shielded outlet and matching shielded cabling system.
