MetzConnect 130C371002-I RJ-45 Cat.6A E-DAT Socket Outlet White

The MetzConnect 130C371002-I RJ-45 Cat.6A E-DAT socket outlet is a professional-grade termination unit designed for high-performance structured cabling systems. This flush-mounted module provides a reliable and stable connection for Ethernet devices, ensuring high-speed data transmission in both residential and commercial environments. Its robust construction and adherence to international standards make it an ideal choice for modern network infrastructures requiring 10 GBit Ethernet support.

Advantages

This socket outlet stands out due to its high-frequency performance, supporting class EA up to 500 MHz and component testing up to 600 MHz. The design features an ergonomically shaped LSA terminal block that is specifically optimized for high-frequency technology, ensuring minimal signal loss. Installation is highly flexible thanks to the practical cable feed from eight different sides and the ability to connect solid wire data lines ranging from AWG 26/1 to 22/1. Furthermore, the unit includes integrated dust protection covers and a label window for clear identification, while the 45-degree downward plug direction helps manage cable strain effectively.

Suitable for

• 10 GBit Ethernet (IEEE 802.3an) networks
• Remote Powering applications including PoE, PoE plus, and UPoE
• HDBaseT installations
• Professional office and residential structured cabling
• Flush-mounted wall installations in standard or cavity wall casings

When it may not be suitable

This socket is designed specifically for solid wire conductors and is not intended for use with stranded patch cables. It is also not suitable for surface-mounted applications unless used with a compatible surface-mount housing, which is not included with this specific module.

Key specifications

• Connector type: RJ-45
• Performance category: Cat.6A
• Frequency range: Up to 600 MHz for components
• Supported standards: ISO/IEC 11801, DIN EN 50173-1, TIA/EIA-568-C.2
• Conductor compatibility: AWG 26/1 to 22/1 (solid wire)
• Mounting type: Flush-mounted
• Plug orientation: 45° downwards
• Color: Pure white (RAL 9010)

How to use

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician to ensure compliance with network standards. Begin by preparing the cable and inserting the wires into the LSA terminal block according to the color-coding scheme. The strain relief cover and shield connection can be easily secured from the front using the provided screws. Once the wiring is complete, mount the module into a standard flush-mounted or cavity wall casing. Finally, attach the faceplate and use the label window to identify the connection point for easy network management.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing wall boxes are compatible with flush-mounted modules.
• Ensure you are using solid core installation cables rather than stranded patch cables.
• Check if your current switch line design is compatible with the module's central unit.
• Confirm the required number of ports for your specific installation point.

Usage recommendations

For optimal network performance, always maintain the minimum bend radius of the data cables during installation and ensure the shield connection is properly secured to prevent electromagnetic interference.
