Opbouw afgeschermde aansluitdoos ACT FA5005 voor 1× CAT5E-bus, 39×29,5×54 mm

Surface mounted shielded outlet box ACT FA5005 for 1× CAT5E jack, 39×29.5×54 mm is a compact metal housing designed to accommodate a single CAT5E keystone module for surface cabling installations. The enclosure provides mechanical protection and electromagnetic shielding for an Ethernet jack, and it includes a provision for grounding to maintain shield continuity in shielded cabling systems. Its small footprint and standardized keystone opening make it suitable for installations where flush mounting is not possible or where surface routing of network cabling is preferred.

Advantages

The shielded metal construction reduces electromagnetic interference and preserves signal integrity for shielded twisted-pair connections. The box’s compact dimensions allow installation in confined spaces and on various surfaces without requiring recessed wall cavities. The standardized keystone aperture ensures compatibility with most CAT5E keystone jacks, while the grounding provision supports proper shielding continuity. Its robust build offers durable mechanical protection for the jack and connector during installation and daily use.

Suitable for

• Surface-mounted Ethernet outlets for CAT5E shielded jacks
• Retrofit network installations where in-wall mounting is not feasible
• Environments that require grounded, shielded connections to reduce EMI
• Small enclosures, utility rooms, offices, and industrial spaces with surface cabling

Key specifications

• Compatible module: single CAT5E keystone jack (shielded)
• Material: metal housing providing shielding and mechanical protection
• Grounding: provision for shield/ground connection to maintain continuity
• Dimensions (W×H×D): 39 × 29.5 × 54 mm
• Mounting: surface-mounted installation on walls or flat surfaces

How to use

Install the CAT5E shielded keystone jack into the outlet box’s keystone opening and secure it according to the jack manufacturer’s instructions. Mount the outlet box on the desired surface using appropriate screws or anchors for the wall material. Terminate the shielded twisted-pair cable at the keystone jack, ensuring correct wiring order and a secure termination. Connect the box’s grounding point to building ground or the system ground to ensure shield continuity and proper EMI protection. After termination and grounding, fasten the jack and close the box to provide mechanical protection.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the box together with shielded CAT5E keystone jacks and follow the cabling standards for shielded twisted-pair systems. Ensure reliable grounding by using a continuous ground path back to the main grounding point. In environments with high electromagnetic interference, verify cable routing and connector integrity during installation and testing.
