Data socket RJ45 Asfora Schneider Electric, category 5e UTP, single-port, white

The Asfora Schneider Electric single-port RJ45 data socket is a Category 5e UTP wall outlet in white designed for fixed network wiring in homes and offices. It provides a standard unshielded twisted-pair connection suitable for Ethernet data and voice transmission up to Cat5e performance. The socket is supplied as a complete device with a glossy white central plate and frame, made from ABS plastic, and accepts one cable terminated on IDC terminals for a reliable copper conductor connection. Dimensions are compact for flush mounting and integration into standard installations.

Advantages

This Asfora RJ45 outlet offers dependable Cat5e UTP connectivity in a single-port format that is simple to install in recessed wall boxes. The use of IDC terminals simplifies cable termination without the need for modular plugs, while the ABS construction and glossy finish provide a durable and easy-to-clean surface. Its compact size and standard mounting clips fit typical recessed mounting depths and panels, making it suitable for both new wiring and retrofits.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Residential Ethernet and voice connections (home LAN, IP phones)
• Small office network points for PCs, printers, and VoIP devices
• Patch panel edge outlets and structured cabling endpoints supporting Cat5e
• Flush-mounted installations where a single network port is required

When it may not be suitable

This single-port Cat5e UTP socket does not provide shielding and is therefore not appropriate for environments with high electromagnetic interference where STP/FTP connectors are recommended. It is limited to Cat5e performance; it is not intended for higher category requirements such as Gigabit over higher margin links beyond Cat5e-rated performance in demanding installations.

How to use

Mount the Asfora RJ45 socket into a compatible recessed wall box using the supplied clips, ensuring the power is isolated if working near electrical circuits. Prepare a single UTP Cat5e cable by stripping the outer sheath to expose the pairs, arrange the conductors according to the chosen wiring standard (T568A or T568B), and terminate each conductor into the IDC terminals firmly. After termination, secure the central plate and snap on the glossy frame. Test the connection with a network tester to confirm continuity and correct pair wiring before completing the installation.

What to consider before purchase

• Required category: ensure Cat5e performance meets your network bandwidth needs
• Shielding needs: choose shielded connectors if the environment has significant EMI
• Mounting depth and box compatibility: verify the recessed box dimensions and clip range (51–80 mm)
• Wiring standard: decide between T568A and T568B for consistent network wiring

Usage recommendations

Use this Schneider Electric Asfora single-port RJ45 socket for standard indoor LAN and voice endpoints where Cat5e performance is sufficient. Pair it with quality Cat5e UTP cable and verify terminations with a cable tester to ensure reliable network performance.
