Socket-outlet RJ-45 MetzConnect 1309120002-E, Cat6a, White, 85×85×43 mm

MetzConnect 1309120002-E is a surface-mounted RJ-45 socket outlet in pearl/pure white designed for Cat6a structured cabling. The compact wall unit (85×85×43 mm) supports high-performance Ethernet links up to 500 MHz and is suitable for 10 GBit Ethernet, PoE (including PoE+, UPoE) and HDBaseT applications. The outlet uses an E-DAT module with 8-position insulation displacement connectors (IDC) and offers clearly marked conductor assignment for T568A or T568B wiring. Integrated dust protection covers, a downward 45° module plug direction and a label window simplify installation and identification in offices, data rooms and residential networks.

Advantages

The MetzConnect socket is component-tested and certified to relevant international standards for Class EA / Cat6a performance, ensuring reliable high-frequency transmission and interoperability with compliant cabling. Installation is facilitated by IDC termination for 2–4 pair solid and stranded conductors (AWG 26/1–22/1 and AWG 26/7–22/7), strain relief with cable tie, and a clear marking scheme for T568A/T568B. The compact, structured-matte cover in pearl white or pure white provides a discreet appearance while integrated dust covers protect the connector when not in use.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• 10 GBit Ethernet connections in office and server room environments
• Power over Ethernet deployments (PoE, PoE+, UPoE) for IP phones, cameras and access points
• Structured cabling installations in homes and apartments requiring Cat6a performance
• HDBaseT signal distribution for AV and conference room installations

How to use

Mount the surface outlet on a suitable flat wall or mounting box using the provided fixing points. Prepare cable pairs to the recommended length and terminate them in the E-DAT module using the 8-position insulation displacement connectors following the marked T568A or T568B assignment. Apply the strain relief and secure the cable with the integrated cable tie. Once wiring is complete, insert the module with the 45° downward orientation, attach the cover plate and label the outlet through the label window. Use the dust protection cover when the port is not in use to prevent contamination.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use Cat6a-compliant patch cables and follow shield/grounding practices appropriate to your cabling topology. Maintain cable bend radius limits and avoid running data cabling parallel to high-voltage power lines to minimize interference. Verify installation with suitable certification tools to confirm Class EA performance up to 500 MHz.
