Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this socket require extra wiring?

No, this is a passive RJ45 Ethernet socket and does not require additional electrical wiring.

Is this compatible with Cat 6 cables?

While the physical port may fit, the socket is rated for Cat 5e. Using Cat 6 cable will work, but you may be limited to Cat 5e performance speeds.

How do I remove the screwless faceplate?

The faceplate is designed to be removed by carefully prying it from the frame using a flat-head screwdriver in the designated slot.

Can I install this in a standard electrical back box?

Yes, this unit is designed to fit into standard UK-sized back boxes.

Will the navy blue finish fade?

The materials used are designed to be UV-resistant and will not fade under normal indoor lighting or sunlight conditions.

Troubleshooting

No network signal after installation

Check that the Ethernet cable is correctly terminated at both the wall socket and the source router or patch panel.

Faceplate does not snap on securely

Ensure the back frame is level and the socket module is fully recessed into the back box to allow the plate to sit flush.

Slow connection speeds

Verify that your Cat 5e cable run is not damaged or subject to excessive interference, and ensure the patch lead used from the device is functioning correctly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sleek screwless design
  • UV-resistant, non-fading finish
  • Constructed from fireproof materials
  • Simple, clean installation process
  • Compact form factor fits standard wall boxes

Cons

  • Requires existing compatible back box

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the Trendi Switch Ethernet Socket is straightforward, designed to be mounted into a standard back box. Ensure that the Cat 5e cable is properly terminated into the module before attaching the faceplate. Because the plate is screwless, it snaps into place for a clean look, covering all mounting hardware. Compatibility is limited to standard electrical back boxes of sufficient depth. For care, simply use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to wipe the surface. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these may damage the polished finish.
