Wall socket NORDMARK SS-1xRJ45 CAT5E one-port for RJ45 modular jack

NORDMARK SS-1xRJ45 CAT5E one-port wall socket is a flush-mount wall outlet designed to accept a single RJ45 modular jack. Intended for fixed in-wall Ethernet terminations, the socket supports CAT5E networks and provides a discreet, space-saving connection point for devices such as desktop computers, routers, IP phones and other networked equipment. The unit is compatible with standard single-gang wall plates and is suitable for residential and small office structured cabling installations.

Advantages

This wall socket offers a compact one-port design that simplifies wall-mounted network terminations while maintaining CAT5E performance for 100BASE-TX networks and typical Gigabit LAN wiring environments where CAT5E is acceptable. The product enables neat cable routing and a permanent in-wall connection point, reducing cable clutter and decreasing wear on patch cables. Installation with a modular RJ45 jack allows for quick replacement or upgrading of the connector without altering the wall box or in-wall cabling.

Suitable for

• Residential Ethernet outlets for home networks
• Small office and SOHO network terminations
• Wall-mounted connections for desktop PCs and printers
• Voice over IP phones and small network devices
• Patch panel to wall run terminations in single-room installations

Key specifications

• Port count: single RJ45 modular jack compatible
• Cable standard supported: CAT5E performance
• Mounting style: flush / single-gang wall box compatible
• Application: in-wall Ethernet outlet for data and voice
• Material and finish: durable plastic faceplate suitable for indoor use

How to use

Install the NORDMARK SS-1xRJ45 into a standard single-gang electrical box following local electrical and building codes. Terminate the in-wall twisted-pair cable to an RJ45 modular jack using the T568A or T568B wiring scheme as required by the existing network, then snap the jack into the socket opening and secure the faceplate to the wall box. After installation, connect devices with a patch cable to the wall socket for network access. Verify continuity and performance with a network tester to confirm correct pairing and CAT5E compliance.

Usage recommendations

For best results, perform cable testing after termination to ensure proper pair wiring and to verify signal integrity at CAT5E specification. Use appropriate strain relief and routing practices inside the wall box to prevent jacket damage and avoid tight bends that could degrade performance. When upgrading network speed requirements, consider using higher-category components if future-proofing to CAT6 or above is desired.
