The Schneider Electric Merten RJ45 Cat.5e UTP Single Data Socket is a high-quality networking component designed to provide reliable connectivity for local area networks. Engineered for seamless integration into residential and commercial environments, this socket ensures stable data transmission for standard Ethernet applications. Its modular design allows it to fit perfectly within the Merten series frames, offering a clean and professional aesthetic for any structured cabling installation.

Advantages

This data socket stands out due to its robust construction and compatibility with the extensive Merten design range. It provides a secure and stable connection for Cat.5e UTP cabling, which is essential for maintaining network integrity in home offices, living spaces, or professional work environments. The installation process is straightforward, allowing for efficient setup of network points while maintaining a high standard of electrical and data safety.

Suitable for

• Residential network installations
• Home office setups
• Commercial office workstations
• Structured cabling systems

This socket is not suitable for high-speed network requirements exceeding Cat.5e standards, such as Cat.6a or Cat.7 cabling, which require different shielding and bandwidth capabilities. It is also not intended for outdoor use or environments with high moisture levels without appropriate protective housing.

Key specifications

• Connector type: RJ45
• Category: Cat.5e
• Shielding: UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair)
• Compatibility: Merten series frames
• Application: Data transmission for local area networks

To use this socket, ensure that the Cat.5e UTP cable is properly stripped and the individual wires are terminated according to the T568A or T568B wiring standards. Once the wires are secured into the insulation displacement connectors, the module can be snapped into the corresponding Merten frame. Ensure that the cable is not bent beyond its minimum radius to maintain signal quality.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify compatibility with your existing Merten frame collection
• Ensure your network infrastructure utilizes Cat.5e cabling
• Check if you require a single or double port configuration

For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends in the network cable during installation and ensure that the cable runs are kept away from high-voltage electrical lines to prevent electromagnetic interference.
