Product Information

Full details

This product is ideal for network installers and IT professionals seeking efficient and reliable network termination. Its key benefit is pre-loaded module and faceplate assembly, significantly reducing installation time and cost on-site. A minor caveat is its specific single-gang configuration, limiting its use in multi-gang scenarios without additional adaptation. This pack contains ten units of Excel's Cat5E Single Gang RJ45 Bevelled Face Plates, featuring a pre-installed white module and blanks, designed for quick surface or flush mounting.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the primary benefit of this product?

The primary benefit is the pre-loaded module and faceplate, which significantly reduces installation time and labor costs on-site compared to assembling components separately.

Is this product suitable for Cat6 or higher networks?

No, this specific product is designed and specified for Cat5E performance. For Cat6 or higher, a corresponding Cat6 faceplate and module would be required.

Can I use this for flush or surface mounting?

Yes, this faceplate is designed to be compatible with both flush-mounted installations (requiring a 27mm back box) and surface-mounted installations.

How many ports does this faceplate support?

This is a single-gang faceplate designed to accommodate one RJ45 module and potentially additional blanks.

What type of fastening does it use?

The faceplate uses standard screw-type fastening for secure attachment to the back box.

Does the pack include the necessary back box?

No, the pack contains the faceplates and pre-loaded modules. The back box for mounting needs to be purchased separately and must be of appropriate depth for flush mounting.

How do I label the ports?

The faceplate features a built-in slide label system. You can insert a small label into the designated slot for clear identification of the network port.

Troubleshooting

Network connection issues after installation

Verify cable termination at the RJ45 module is correct and secure. Ensure the cable is within Cat5E specifications and not damaged. Test the cable run with a network cable tester.

Faceplate does not sit flush against the wall

Check the depth and type of the back box being used. Ensure it meets the minimum 27mm requirement for flush mounting with the bevelled plate. Verify no obstructions behind the back box.

Difficulty attaching network cable to module

Ensure the cable conductors are correctly prepared and inserted into the designated slots on the RJ45 module. Use a Krone tool or appropriate termination tool for a clean punch-down.

Label system is difficult to use

Gently slide the label holder into place. Ensure any protective film is removed. Write legibly on the label insert.
