Kenable Network Faceplate - Cat6 - 2 Port - RJ45 Socket

No, this faceplate is designed to connect pre-terminated RJ45 Ethernet cables directly to the front and back, eliminating the need for manual wiring.

This specific model supports Cat6, providing speeds up to 1000 Mbit/s at 250MHz. However, the panel mount RJ45 module itself is available in Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6a variants.

The total depth from the faceplate to the end of the rear module is approximately 30mm. You will require additional clearance for the connected cable itself, with a recommendation for significant clearance, especially for larger gauge cables.

The faceplate dimensions are 85mm x 85mm. While it may fit some standard single-gang back boxes, the depth requirement for the cable might necessitate the use of an extension back box.

Faceplates provide a much neater, more permanent, and professional finish for network cable installations compared to having loose cables, improving organization and reducing potential damage.

It is suitable for both. It simplifies home network setups by providing clean wall terminations and is also used in professional settings for organized network infrastructure.

Verify that both the front and rear RJ45 cables are securely plugged in. Test the cables and connected devices individually without the faceplate to rule out other issues. Ensure the faceplate's network standard (e.g., Cat6) matches your network requirements.

Confirm that the connected cables are rated for the speed you expect (e.g., Cat6 for Gigabit). Check for physical damage to the cables or connectors. Ensure the faceplate is properly seated and cables have sufficient clearance to avoid pinching.

Double-check the dimensions of the faceplate (85mm x 85mm) against your existing cutout. If the hole is too small, it may need to be enlarged. If the depth is insufficient due to cable bulk, consider using an extension back box.
