Soho Lighting Antique Brass 1 Gang Data Socket - RJ45 Ethernet Cat5/Cat6 - Black Insert

This data socket is compatible with both CAT 5 and CAT 6 Ethernet cables.

This is a data socket specifically designed for RJ45 Ethernet connections to provide network access.

No, the Ethernet cable is not included with the data socket. You will need to provide your own compatible Cat5 or Cat6 cable.

While the faceplate is user-installable, the internal wiring connecting to the network should be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance.

Gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. The finish is designed to resist fingerprints, but occasional light cleaning is recommended.

Hardwired Ethernet connections typically offer greater stability, higher speeds, and reduced latency compared to Wi-Fi, especially in areas with potential interference.

The 'screwless' design means that the visible faceplate does not have visible screws. It clips onto the backplate, creating a cleaner, more modern aesthetic.

Ensure the Ethernet cable is correctly terminated at both ends (plug and socket) and that the network infrastructure is functional. Verify that the cable is a compatible Cat5 or Cat6 type. Consult a qualified electrician if unsure about wiring.

Check the condition of the Ethernet cable for damage. Ensure the cable is properly seated in the RJ45 socket. Test with a different Cat5/Cat6 cable. Confirm that the connected device and network equipment support the desired speeds.

Ensure the underlying backbox is correctly and securely installed. Check for any obstructions behind the faceplate. The screwless clips may require firm pressure to engage properly.
