Socket outlet MetzConnect 1309426003-E, zinc housing, grey, 17.5 mm x 60 mm x 52.2 mm

MetzConnect 1309426003-E is a compact socket outlet with a zinc housing in grey finish, sized 17.5 mm x 60 mm x 52.2 mm. Engineered for mounting on TH35 rails to DIN EN 60715 in electrical distribution panels, this unit incorporates an E-DAT RJ45 module for high-performance data connections. The housing offers corrosion resistance and mechanical robustness for installations in domestic and industrial environments where a compact metal-bodied outlet is required.

Advantages

The device supports Class EA performance to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173-1 and is tested up to 500 MHz, enabling 10 GBit Ethernet (IEEE 802.3an) transmission. It is suitable for Power over Ethernet (PoE, PoE+ and UPoE) and accepts both solid and stranded conductors via 8-fold insulation displacement connectors (IDC). The 1HP width allows dense mounting in standard distribution panels, and an integrated equipotential plate provides potential equalization when installed as protection class I. A hinged dust protection cover reduces contamination of the RJ45 module.

Suitable for

• Data network terminations in electrical distribution panels
• 10 GBit Ethernet and high-frequency structured cabling installations
• PoE-powered devices such as access points, VoIP phones and cameras
• Industrial and residential control cabinet installations on TH35 rails

• Protection: integrated dust protection cover; option for protection class I or II with corresponding bonding configuration

How to use

Mount the outlet on a TH35 top-hat rail inside the distribution panel in the desired position, ensuring the 1HP width fits available slots. Prepare the data cable and insert conductor pairs into the E-DAT module following the marked T568A or T568B assignment. Use the IDC stuffer cap to press wires into the termination contacts; the unit accepts solid and stranded conductors within the specified AWG range. Connect the equipotential bonding plate to the building bonding system when installing as protection class I, or remove the bonding spring when installing in panels with protective insulation to achieve protection class II. Close the integrated dust cover after termination.

Usage recommendations

For reliable 10 GBit Ethernet performance, use high-quality Cat6A or higher cabling and follow the T568A or T568B pair assignment consistently across the installation. Ensure proper equipotential bonding for protection class I installations and confirm PoE power requirements of connected devices before deployment.
