Kenable Faceplate - Cat6A Shielded FTP - 2 Port RJ45
A through connecting panel mount faceplate that allows you to connect pre-terminated RJ45 Ethernet...A through connecting panel mount faceplate that allows you to connect pre-terminated RJ45 Ethernet cables into the front and back of the faceplate. Easy to install with no wiring. Faceplates provide a much neater more permanent install providing you with a professional finish. Panel Mount RJ45 Module with Faceplate RJ45 Module Size: 14.5mm x 33.5 Front back plate to module/s: 30mm Faceplate Dimensions: 85mm x 85mm Finish: White label Panel included Cat 6A Double Module Available in Cat5e/Cat6/cat6a Single & Double Inserts Please Note: This faceplate will require a large clearance with connected cable to the rear. We recommend to install into a cavity wall use an extension back box or a right angled pre-made cable if possible. (Total depth from faceplate to end of module: 30mm) Cat5e Has a speed to 1000 Mbit/s 100mhz Cat6 Has a speed to 1000 Mbit/s 250mhz Cat6a Has a speed to 10000 Mbit/s 500mhz Cat7 Has a speed to 10000 Mbit/s 600mhz.
This Kenable Cat6A Shielded FTP Faceplate is designed for users seeking a clean and professional Ethernet network installation. It offers a neat, panel-mount solution for connecting pre-terminated RJ45 cables without requiring manual wiring. A key benefit is its straightforward installation, providing a permanent and tidy finish. However, users should be aware that it requires significant clearance behind the panel for connected cables.

Extended Product Information
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:
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.
Mount the faceplate securely to the wall or panel.
Connect pre-terminated RJ45 Ethernet cables to the rear ports of the faceplate.
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.
