LYNX PXP-22S-C5E Dual RJ45 STP Cat5E Flush-Mounted Wall Socket

The LYNX PXP-22S-C5E is a high-quality shielded dual RJ45 wall socket engineered for reliable Cat5E network installations. This flush-mounted outlet is designed to provide a stable and secure connection point for Ethernet networking in both residential and professional office environments. With its robust construction and dual terminal block, it ensures efficient data transmission and maintains signal integrity across your structured cabling system.

Advantages

This wall socket offers superior protection against electromagnetic interference thanks to its STP shielding, which is essential for maintaining high-speed data performance in environments with high electrical noise. The flush-mounted design allows for a clean and professional installation that sits neatly against the wall, reducing the risk of accidental damage to the connection ports. Its dual-port configuration provides the flexibility to connect two devices simultaneously, making it an efficient solution for workstations or home media centers.

Suitable for

• Home office network setups
• Corporate office structured cabling
• Connecting computers, printers, and VoIP phones
• Residential high-speed internet distribution

When it may not be suitable

This product is specifically designed for Cat5E cabling standards and may not be suitable for high-bandwidth applications requiring Cat6 or Cat6A performance. It is also intended for flush-mounted installation, so it may not be appropriate for surface-mounted projects without the use of an additional external housing box.

Key specifications

• Connector type: 2x RJ45
• Category: Cat5E
• Shielding: STP (Shielded Twisted Pair)
• Mounting type: Flush-mounted
• Terminal type: Dual terminal block

How to use

To install the LYNX PXP-22S-C5E, ensure that your Cat5E cables are properly stripped and prepared according to the T568A or T568B wiring standards. Insert the individual wire pairs into the corresponding slots on the dual terminal block and secure them using a standard punch-down tool. Once the wires are terminated, mount the socket into the wall box using the provided screws and attach the faceplate to complete the installation. Test the connection with a network cable tester to verify signal continuity.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing cabling is Cat5E or higher to ensure compatibility.
• Ensure you have the appropriate wall box depth for flush mounting.
• Check if your network environment requires shielded (STP) or unshielded (UTP) components.

Usage recommendations

For optimal network performance, always maintain the twist of the wire pairs as close to the terminal block as possible and avoid sharp bends in the cable during installation.
