Opbouw afschermdoos ACT CAT6, 1-poorts, 39×54×29,5 mm

Surface-mounted shielded outlet box ACT CAT6, 1-port, 39×54×29.5 mm is a compact, metallic enclosure designed for installation on walls or other surfaces where a grounded, shielded CAT6 connection is required. The box accommodates a single RJ45 keystone or module and provides a secure, grounded housing that maintains cable shielding continuity for improved EMI protection and reliable high-speed data transmission in structured cabling installations, small offices, or home networks.

Advantages

The outlet box offers a small footprint and shallow depth to enable installation in tight spaces and on surface-mounted conduits. Its shielded construction preserves the effectiveness of shielded twisted pair cabling by providing a grounded enclosure and a defined metal-to-metal contact area. The single-port configuration simplifies deployments where only one network outlet is needed, and the robust housing reduces the risk of mechanical damage to the connector and cable termination.

Suitable for

• Surface-mounted network outlets in offices and homes
• Retrofitting CAT6 shielded connections without in-wall work
• Areas with elevated electromagnetic interference where shielding is required
• Single-port terminal points for IP phones, PCs, or networked devices

Key specifications

• Mounting type: surface-mounted
• Shielding: metallic/grounded enclosure for shielded cable continuity
• Ports: 1 RJ45 keystone/module slot
• Suitable cabling category: CAT6 (shielded twisted pair)
• External dimensions (approx.): 39 mm × 54 mm × 29.5 mm
• Material: metal (provides EMI shielding and mechanical protection)

How to use

Install the surface-mounted outlet box at the chosen location using appropriate screws or adhesive suitable for the mounting surface. Route the shielded CAT6 cable into the box and terminate the cable on a compatible RJ45 keystone or module following the cabling standard used (T568A or T568B). Ensure the cable drain wire or cable shield is properly connected to the box grounding point to maintain shielding continuity. Secure the keystone/module into the port opening and mount any cover or faceplate as required.

Recommendations

When installing shielded CAT6 connections, verify that all components in the link (cable, connectors, outlet box, and patch panels) are specified for shielding and properly grounded. Use compatible shielded keystones and ensure a low-resistance ground connection to achieve optimal EMI protection and maintain high data throughput.
