Quad CAT5e Data Wall Outlet Face Plate 4 Port RJ45 Ethernet Network Data Socket

Quantity x 1

Overview - These network outlet faceplates are a perfect fitting for cables that have been run between rooms beneath floors and behind walls. The faceplate is fitted to a standard double 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).

Types of Wiring - Depending on the application in which you hope to use it, the socket can be wired in both the ‘straight through’ or ‘cross-over’ 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 ‘TIA/EIA-568-A to TIA/EIA-568-A’ or ‘TIA/EIA-568-B to TIA/EIA-568-B’
