Extended Product Information

FAQs

What type of network cable does this outlet support?

This outlet is UTP CAT5e compliant, meaning it is designed to work with CAT5e Unshielded Twisted Pair network cables.

Do I need a special tool to install the network cable?

Yes, an IDC tool is included with the outlet, which is designed to help terminate the network cable wires into the IDC terminals.

What is the minimum depth required for installation?

A minimum mounting depth of 35mm is required for this outlet.

Is this outlet suitable for outdoor use?

The integral gasket provides some protection, but it is primarily designed for indoor use in standard wall installations. Extreme environmental conditions should be considered.

Can I use this for telephone lines?

While the RJ45 connector is physically compatible with some telephone connectors, this outlet is specifically designed and rated for Ethernet (data) networking, not voice telephony.

What safety standards does this product meet?

The product is compliant with all relevant British safety standards for electrical installations.

Troubleshooting

No network connection after installation

Double-check all wire terminations at the IDC terminals, ensuring they are correctly seated and aligned with the colour code. Verify that the correct wiring standard (T568A or T568B) has been used consistently on both ends of the cable run. Ensure the cable is not damaged.

Slow network speeds

Confirm that the cable used is CAT5e or higher and is not damaged. Check if other devices on the network are also experiencing slow speeds, indicating a broader network issue. Ensure the connections are properly terminated and that no wires are shorting.

Outlet does not fit into the back box

Ensure you are using a back box with a minimum mounting depth of 35mm. Check for any obstructions within the back box that might prevent the outlet from seating correctly.
