Quad & 2x Double CAT6 Wall Face Plates 4 Port RJ45 Ethernet Network Data Socket

CAT6 Wall Plate Kit - Supplied with labels

Quantity x 1 Quad CAT6 Wall Plate
Quantity x 2 Double CAT6 Wall Plates

Overview - These network outlet faceplates are a perfect fitting for cables that have been run between rooms beneath floors and behind walls. The quad faceplate is fitted to a standard double box and the single faceplates to a single box using the included fixing screws, just like an aerial socket or power outlet. Then network cable can be attached to the RJ45 sockets in just a few minutes, using an IDC termination tool. Simply strip off a short section of the outer cable insulation and follow the colour coded labels on the sockets to push each internal wire into the corresponding connection using an IDC tool (the internal wires on the network cable do not need stripping).

The use of IDC connectors, means the socket itself actually pierces the wireâs plastic insulation as it is pushed in, doing away with the need for excessive, intricate wire stripping, thus making installation as easy and fast as possible. The colour coding on the side of each port is TIA/EIA-568B. They can be wired in the A format if required however colour coding for the A format is not illustrated on the product itself and a wiring diagram would be required.

This kit is designed for feeding 2 rooms with faceplates into one neat and compact faceplate at a central/other location. We also stock a CAT5e version, please search our shop or get in touch for more details.

Types of Wiring - Depending on the application in which you hope to use it, the socket can be wired in either the âstraight throughâ or âcross-overâ configurations.

'Cross over' wiring is usually used for connecting 2 computers directly to one another, without the use of a Hub or Router. They use TIA/EIA-568-A wiring at one end, and TIA/EIA-568-B at the other.

'Straight through' cables can be used for connecting a PC or games console to a Hub/Router, or, in conjunction with AV extender devices, for audio and video distribution throughout a home or commercial project. To create a 'Straight through' cable, it should be wired using the same wiring variant at both ends. Either âTIA/EIA-568-A to TIA/EIA-568-Aâ or âTIA/EIA-568-B to TIA/EIA-568-Bâ
