ROLINE Flush Mount Wall Jack Cat.6 Shielded White

The ROLINE Flush Mount Wall Jack Cat.6 Shielded White is a high-quality network connection socket designed for structured local area networking in residential and commercial environments. This flush mount wall jack provides a reliable and stable interface for connecting network devices to Gigabit Ethernet infrastructures. Encased in a durable white plastic housing with a fully screened metal interior, it ensures secure data transmission while protecting against electromagnetic interference. The design integrates a 45-degree tilted plug assembly to facilitate cable management and reduce strain on connected patch cords.

Advantages

This shielded Cat.6 wall jack fulfills the stringent requirements of the Cat.6 and Class E Permanent Link standards, making it exceptionally well-suited for high-speed Gigabit Ethernet networks. The inclusion of a fully screened metal housing guarantees robust security against electromagnetic interference, maintaining signal integrity even in environments with high electrical noise. Cable installation is simplified through the use of LSA-plus piercing terminals equipped with clear color coding in accordance with EIA/TIA 568 standards. Additionally, the 45-degree tilted plug orientation allows for neat cable routing and prevents excessive bending of network cables.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet local area network installations in homes and offices
• Structured network cabling systems requiring reliable electromagnetic shielding
• Flush mount wall installations in drywall or solid walls

When it may not be suitable

This wall jack is not designed for surface-mounted installations without a corresponding mounting box, nor is it intended for outdoor use where it would be exposed to moisture and extreme weather conditions. It may also not be suitable for older network infrastructures that do not support Cat.6 or Class E standards if full gigabit performance is not required.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6 / Class E Permanent Link
• Shielding: Shielded with metal housing
• Color: White
• Material: Plastic housing with metal shielding
• Connection type: LSA-plus piercing terminals with EIA/TIA 568 color coding
• Plug assembly angle: 45 degrees

How to use

Installation of the ROLINE flush mount wall jack requires basic networking tools and knowledge of structured cabling. Begin by routing the incoming Cat.6 installation cable to the wall location. Strip the outer jacket of the cable carefully to expose the shielded twisted pairs. Untwist the pairs as little as possible to maintain signal quality and terminate the individual wires into the LSA-plus piercing terminals using a punch-down tool, following the EIA/TIA 568 color coding indicated on the top of the unit. Once all wires are securely terminated, mount the shielded box into the flush-mounted wall box and secure the white plastic cover plate.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing or planned network infrastructure utilizes compatible Cat.6 shielded cables to achieve optimal Class E performance
• Ensure that your installation environment supports flush mounting and that a suitable wall box is available
• Confirm whether you require specialized tools such as an LSA punch-down tool for proper wire termination

Usage recommendations

For optimal network performance and compliance with Class E specifications over a 100-meter channel, combine this wall jack with compatible ROLINE Cat.6 S/FTP solid wire installation cables, patch panels, and patch cords as part of a complete structured cabling system.
