Πρίζα δικτύου RJ-45 ShiverPeaks BS74280 — κατηγορία 6a, μεταλλική

ShiverPeaks BS74280 is an RJ-45 socket outlet engineered for Category 6a cabling. The single-piece metallic body provides a robust connection point for high-speed Ethernet and structured cabling installations. It is suitable for use in wall-mounted outlet plates, patch panels and in-wall network terminations where the enhanced throughput and reduced interference of Cat6a are required together with a metallic finish.

Advantages

The metallic construction of this RJ-45 socket outlet offers improved mechanical durability and shielding compared with standard plastic designs. As a Category 6a rated component, it supports higher frequencies and data rates typical of 10 Gigabit Ethernet over twisted-pair copper cabling, helping to maintain signal integrity in dense installations. The single-piece design simplifies termination and reduces potential points of failure, and the standard RJ-45 interface ensures compatibility with existing patch cords and equipment.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in offices, server rooms and data closets
• Structured cabling installations requiring Cat6a performance
• Wall-mounted outlet plates and modular faceplates with metallic finish
• Patch panels and in-wall network terminations demanding durable connectors
• Environments where improved shielding and mechanical protection are needed

Key specifications

• Connector type: RJ-45 socket outlet
• Category performance: Category 6a
• Material: single-piece metallic housing
• Contact interface: 8P8C (standard RJ-45 pinout)
• Intended use: fixed installation in outlet plates, patch panels or in-wall terminations
• Compatibility: standard Ethernet patch cords and network devices supporting RJ-45

How to use

Install the socket outlet into the appropriate wall-mounted plate, module or patch panel cutout designed for RJ-45 modules. Terminate the Category 6a cabling onto the socket according to standard wiring schemes (T568A or T568B), ensuring proper pair alignment and sufficient cable preparation to maintain performance. Secure the metallic housing in place using the designated fasteners for the mounting system, and verify connectivity and performance with a cable tester certified for Cat6a frequencies after installation.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use Category 6a-rated cables and maintain recommended separation from power wiring and sources of electromagnetic interference. Test each terminated link with a Cat6a-capable tester to confirm return loss, crosstalk and overall link performance before finalising the installation.
