Socket-outlet MetzConnect E-DAT 2x UP0 Cat.6A RJ-45 Silver, metal housing, 69.9×69.9×32.9 mm

The MetzConnect E-DAT 2x UP0 Cat.6A RJ-45 Silver is a dual-port wall socket designed for shielded Cat6A network installations. Housed in a metal silver casing with compact dimensions of 69.9 × 69.9 × 32.9 mm, the outlet provides two UP0 RJ-45 ports that support high-speed data transmission up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet when used with compatible cable and equipment. The metal housing offers mechanical durability and improved electromagnetic shielding compared with unshielded outlets, making it suitable for installations where signal integrity and robust build are important.

Advantages

The unit combines Cat6A performance with a sturdy metal housing to reduce electromagnetic interference and increase mechanical protection. Dual UP0 RJ-45 ports allow two independent network connections from a single wall outlet, reducing the need for additional faceplates. Its compact size fits standard mounting boxes and the silver finish provides a neutral, professional appearance that integrates with commercial and residential interiors.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks requiring shielded terminations
• Server rooms and office networks with high bandwidth demand
• Residential installations where durable, metal-face outlets are preferred
• Structured cabling systems using Cat6A shielded cabling

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6A (shielded)
• Connector type: 2 × UP0 RJ-45 ports
• Supported data rates: up to 10 Gbps (with appropriate cabling)
• Housing material: metal
• Finish: silver
• Outer dimensions: 69.9 × 69.9 × 32.9 mm
• Mounting: wall-mounted, fits standard electrical mounting boxes

How to use

Install the socket into a compatible flush mounting box and secure it following local electrical and cabling regulations. Terminate shielded Cat6A cabling to the UP0 RJ-45 ports using the appropriate tooling and shielding continuity methods specified for your structured cabling system. After termination, connect network devices using shielded RJ-45 patch cables to maintain overall system shielding. Test each connection with a suitable network tester to verify continuity, pair integrity and performance up to Cat6A/10 Gbps.

Usage recommendations

To preserve shielding effectiveness, ensure that cable shielding is properly connected to the metal housing and that all patch cords and connected equipment are shielded where required. Use certified Cat6A shielded components throughout the link for guaranteed 10 Gbps performance and reduced electromagnetic interference.
