Surface-mounted data socket 2-port 270° MetzConnect BTR 130B12D20002-E, Category 6A, pure white

Surface-mounted MetzConnect BTR data socket model 130B12D20002-E is a two-port, Category 6A rated outlet in pure white designed for surface installation. The module provides two RJ45 ports arranged with a 270° orientation to allow flexible cable exit directions and simplified connection in retrofit and wall-mounted scenarios. It is intended for structured cabling where Class EA performance is required for high-speed Ethernet, PoE, and other balanced twisted-pair applications in offices, meeting rooms, or technical spaces.

Advantages

This surface-mounted data socket offers Category 6A performance for up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet over shielded or unshielded cabling depending on installation, compact two-port density for limited wall space, and a 270° port orientation that improves cable routing options for surface trunking and conduit entries. The pure white finish integrates with common interior color schemes and the standardized RJ45 interfaces ensure compatibility with existing network devices and patch cords.

Suitable for

• Office workstations and hot-desk areas
• Meeting and conference rooms requiring high-speed network access
• Retrofit installations on solid walls or surface raceways
• Technical rooms, server closets, and network distribution points

Key specifications

• Ports: 2 × RJ45, 270° orientation
• Cabling class: Category 6A (Class EA)
• Mounting type: Surface-mounted module
• Color: Pure white
• Applications: 10/100/1000/10G Ethernet, PoE (as per cabling and equipment)

How to use

Install the surface-mounted socket onto a prepared flat surface using appropriate fasteners for the substrate. Terminate the incoming twisted-pair cables onto the socket's termination points following the chosen wiring standard (T568A or T568B) and verify pair integrity with a cable tester. Once terminated and secured, connect patch cords from the RJ45 ports to network devices or patch panels. Ensure that cable bending radii and routing comply with Category 6A installation recommendations to maintain performance.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use Category 6A or better cables and maintain proper separation from electrical power lines. Test each connection after installation with a certified network tester to confirm Category 6A compliance and to verify PoE delivery if used. Choose appropriate surface-mount boxes or raceways to protect terminations and to provide strain relief for installed cables.
