FAQs

Do I need to wire this faceplate?

No, this faceplate is designed to connect pre-terminated RJ45 Ethernet cables directly into the front and back, eliminating the need for manual wiring.

What network speeds does this faceplate support?

This is a Cat6A shielded faceplate, supporting network speeds up to 10 Gbps and bandwidth up to 500 MHz.

What are the dimensions of the faceplate?

The faceplate dimensions are 85mm x 85mm. The RJ45 module size is 14.5mm x 33.5mm, with a depth requirement of 30mm from the faceplate to the end of the module.

Can I use this in a shallow wall box?

It is recommended to use this faceplate where there is sufficient clearance behind the panel. If installing into a cavity wall or a shallow space, you may need to use an extension back box or a right-angled pre-made cable for the rear connection.

Is this faceplate shielded?

Yes, this is a shielded FTP (Foiled Twisted Pair) faceplate, designed to help reduce electromagnetic interference.

What types of cables can I connect?

You can connect pre-terminated RJ45 Ethernet cables. It supports Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a, and Cat7 standards.

Troubleshooting

No network connection after installation

Verify that both the front and rear RJ45 cables are securely plugged in and fully seated. Check that the cables themselves are not damaged and are correctly terminated (if applicable to the cable used).

Slow network speeds

Ensure you are using Cat6A rated cables for optimal performance. Check for any kinks or damage to the cables. Confirm that the connected network devices and your router/switch also support Cat6A speeds.

Difficulty fitting cables behind the faceplate

This unit requires significant rear clearance. If space is tight, consider using a right-angled RJ45 patch cable on the rear connection or install the faceplate with an appropriate extension back box.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a very clean and professional finish for network installations.
  • Simplifies connecting network cables without complex wiring.
  • Supports high-speed Cat6A Ethernet standards.
  • Shielded construction helps minimize electromagnetic interference.

Cons

  • Requires considerable rear clearance for connected cables.
  • May necessitate specialized cables (e.g., right-angled) or additional mounting hardware for shallow installations.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Determine the mounting location. Ensure sufficient depth behind the panel for connected cables. Consider using an extension back box or a right-angled RJ45 cable if space is limited.
  2. Mount the faceplate securely to the wall or panel.
  3. Connect pre-terminated RJ45 Ethernet cables to the rear ports of the faceplate.
  4. Connect your network devices to the front RJ45 ports.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with standard RJ45 Ethernet cables.
  • Supports Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a, and Cat7 standards for speed and bandwidth.
  • Designed for panel mounting; ensure your installation location accommodates the faceplate dimensions (85mm x 85mm) and module size (14.5mm x 33.5mm).

Care:

  • Keep the faceplate ports clean and free from dust and debris. Use compressed air for cleaning if necessary.
  • Avoid exposing the faceplate to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures.
