Socket-outlet RJ-45 MetzConnect 130B12D31102-E, Cat6a, white, 69.9×69.9×48.5 mm

MetzConnect 130B12D31102-E is a surface-mounted RJ45 socket outlet engineered for ISO/IEC Cat.6A networking. The compact module measures 69.9 × 69.9 × 48.5 mm and integrates three 8P8C (RJ45) ports in a red-and-white housing. It is specified for operation up to 270 MHz, enabling support for high-speed Ethernet links in offices, home networks, small server rooms and other structured cabling environments where Category 6A performance is required.

Advantages

The module provides Cat.6A performance up to 270 MHz, maintaining compatibility with 10 Gigabit Ethernet over suitable twisted-pair copper cabling when installed to standard. Its surface-mounted design allows straightforward retrofitting or addition of network outlets without wall recessing. Integrating three RJ45 ports in a single module reduces the need for multiple faceplates and permits flexible simultaneous connections. The red-and-white housing supports visual identification and helps with installation planning and site management.

Suitable for

• Office workstations and shared desk areas requiring several wired network ports
• Home networks with multiple wired devices such as PCs, NAS units and smart home hubs
• Small server rooms, network closets and patch locations where surface mounting is preferred
• Temporary or retrofit installations where wall recessing is not possible

How to use

Mount the module on a suitable flat surface using appropriate screws or mounting accessories and the module’s fixing points. Terminate incoming Cat6A or compatible lower-category twisted-pair cables to the module’s IDC/punch-down contacts following the site wiring standard (T568A or T568B). Replace and secure the cover, then connect patch cables from each RJ45 port to end devices, switches or patch panels. Use certified network testing equipment to verify continuity, pair assignment and link speed to confirm that installed links meet Cat6A performance expectations.

Usage recommendations

To ensure optimal performance, use Cat6A-rated cable, avoid tight cable bends near the module, and keep data cabling separated from strong electrical noise sources. Adhere to local cabling standards, test each completed link for wiring and performance, and label ports and patch cables to match network documentation for easier maintenance.
