UTP Socket 2x RJ45 Cat5E with Dual Termination Block, Flush-Mount (PXP-22-C5E)

Flush-mount UTP socket with two RJ45 ports supporting Cat5E cabling and a dual termination block for punch-down wiring. Designed for structured Ethernet installations, it provides stable connections for LAN devices, VoIP phones and other networked equipment in residential and small-office environments. The compact, in-wall form factor keeps cabling concealed while allowing easy access to two independent network ports.

Advantages

The UTP Socket 2x RJ45 Cat5E with Dual Termination Block offers a simple way to add two Cat5E network ports in a single flush-mount outlet. Unshielded construction (UTP) reduces complexity and cost where shielded cabling is not required, and the dual termination block supports standard punch-down terminations for reliable, tool-based connections. Its in-wall design preserves a neat appearance and protects terminations from accidental disturbance.

Suitable for

• Home networks (Ethernet connections for PCs, smart TVs, NAS)
• Small office workstations and VoIP phone connections
• Structured cabling installations using Cat5E UTP cabling
• Rooms requiring two network ports in a single wall outlet

When it may not be suitable

This unshielded (UTP) socket is not suitable for environments with high electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling (STP/FTP) is required. It also does not support higher-category standards such as Cat6 or Cat6A if higher bandwidth or future-proofing for gigabit-plus applications is a priority.

Key specifications

• Connector type: 2 × RJ45 ports
• Supported standard: Cat5E
• Cabling: Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
• Termination: Dual punch-down termination block
• Installation: Flush-mount / in-wall outlet

How to use

Install the socket into a standard flush-mount wall box and secure according to local electrical and building codes. Route Cat5E UTP cables to the back of the outlet, follow the colour-coded termination guide on the dual punch-down block, and terminate each conductor using an appropriate punch-down tool. After termination, snap the faceplate into place and test each RJ45 port with a network cable tester to confirm continuity and correct pairing.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your installation environment does not require shielded cabling (UTP vs. STP/FTP)
• Verify Cat5E performance meets your bandwidth and distance requirements
• Confirm compatibility with your existing wall box and faceplate dimensions

Usage recommendations

For reliable results, use quality Cat5E UTP cable and a proper punch-down tool; after installation, verify each port with a cable tester and label wall outlets to match your network documentation.
