MetzConnect 130B20D21200KE Keystone Wall Plate 2-Port Metallic

The MetzConnect 130B20D21200KE is a professional-grade 2-port metallic wall plate designed to house Keystone modules securely. This flush-mount faceplate offers a reliable and robust interface for structured cabling systems, ensuring that your network connections remain stable and protected. Its metallic construction provides excellent durability and contributes to the overall shielding performance of your data installation, making it an ideal choice for demanding network environments.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this wall plate is its high-quality metal construction, which offers superior mechanical strength compared to standard plastic alternatives. The design features a 45-degree downward module plug orientation, which effectively reduces cable stress and prevents sharp bends that could degrade signal quality. Furthermore, the integrated strain relief mechanism ensures that cables remain securely in place, minimizing the risk of accidental disconnections and maintaining long-term network integrity.

Suitable for

• Structured cabling installations in office environments
• Residential network setups requiring high-quality shielding
• Data centers and server rooms
• Integration with compatible switch line central units

When it may not be suitable

This wall plate is designed specifically for Keystone modules and may not be compatible with proprietary or non-standard connector types. It is also intended for flush-mount installations, so it may not be suitable for surface-mount applications without additional housing components.

Key specifications

• Capacity: 2 ports
• Material: Metal
• Mounting type: Flush-mount
• Module orientation: 45° downwards
• Compatibility: Keystone modules

How to use

To install the wall plate, first ensure that your cabling is routed to the desired flush-mount box location. Insert your chosen Keystone modules into the plate, ensuring they click firmly into the 45-degree angled slots. Connect your network cables to the modules, utilizing the built-in strain relief to secure the cables. Finally, mount the faceplate onto the wall box using the appropriate screws, ensuring a flush and secure fit against the wall surface.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing wall boxes are compatible with flush-mount faceplates.
• Ensure your Keystone modules are compatible with the 45-degree downward orientation.
• Check if you require specific central units from switch lines for aesthetic integration.

Usage recommendations

For optimal network performance, always ensure that the shielding of your cables is properly grounded when using metallic wall plates. Avoid over-tightening the mounting screws to prevent deformation of the metal faceplate.
