Product Information

Full details

This Kenable Cat6A Shielded 1 Port RJ45 Faceplate is designed for users who need a clean, professional, and permanent solution for terminating Ethernet connections. It offers tool-less installation by allowing pre-terminated RJ45 cables to connect directly to the front and rear, simplifying network setups. A key benefit is the neat finish it provides, avoiding messy cable runs. However, users should be aware that the depth requirement for the module and connected cables necessitates adequate space behind the mounting surface.

FAQs

What does 'Cat6A Shielded' mean?

Cat6A (Category 6 Augmented) refers to a standard for Ethernet cabling that supports higher bandwidth (500 MHz) and data rates (10 Gbit/s) over longer distances compared to older categories. 'Shielded' means the cable and connectors have a protective layer to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring more reliable performance in noisy environments.

Do I need special tools to install this faceplate?

No, this faceplate is designed for tool-less installation. You simply connect pre-terminated RJ45 Ethernet cables to the front and rear ports of the module.

What is the required depth for installation?

The total depth from the faceplate to the end of the module with a connected cable is approximately 30mm. It is recommended to have adequate clearance behind the mounting surface, potentially requiring an extension back box for installations in cavity walls.

Can I use Cat5e or Cat6 cables with this Cat6A faceplate?

Yes, you can connect Cat5e, Cat6, or Cat6A cables to this faceplate. However, to achieve the maximum supported speeds of Cat6A (10 Gbit/s), you must use Cat6A rated cables on both ends.

What is the difference between single and double inserts?

Single inserts, like this one, provide one RJ45 port. Double inserts provide two RJ45 ports on a single faceplate, allowing for two separate network connections.

How do I clean the faceplate?

Clean the surface with a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, use a slightly damp cloth, but avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Please refer to the retailer or manufacturer's specific warranty information. Typically, network accessories have a limited warranty against manufacturing defects.

Troubleshooting

No network connectivity after installation

Verify that both front and rear RJ45 cables are fully seated and securely connected. Check that the cables are not damaged and are correctly wired for the intended standard (e.g., Cat6A). Test cables individually if possible.

Slow network speeds or intermittent connection

Ensure the faceplate module and cables are rated for the required speed (Cat6A for 10Gbps). Check for potential EMI if using shielded components in an unshielded environment, or vice versa. Inspect the connections for any signs of damage or poor contact. Ensure connected cables are not kinked or excessively bent.

Difficulty mounting the faceplate

Confirm the mounting location is suitable and that any necessary back box or support structure is properly installed. Ensure the faceplate is aligned correctly before securing it.

Cable strain on the rear connection

Utilize a right-angled RJ45 cable on the rear connection or ensure sufficient clearance is provided by using an extension back box or by modifying the mounting space.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a very neat and professional finish for network installations.
  • Simplifies the connection process by accepting pre-terminated cables.
  • Supports high-speed Cat6A shielded Ethernet standards.
  • Easy to install with no complex wiring required.
  • Modular design allows for flexibility in network configurations.

Cons

  • Requires significant clearance behind the mounting surface due to module and cable depth.
  • May require an extension back box or right-angled cables for proper installation in certain wall cavities.
  • Shielded module may add to installation complexity compared to unshielded versions.
  • Only supports a single RJ45 port per faceplate.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure you have adequate space behind the mounting surface for the module and connected cables (approximately 30mm total depth).
  2. If installing in a cavity wall, consider using an extension back box.
  3. Mount the faceplate into the desired location (e.g., wall, patch panel).
  4. Connect a pre-terminated RJ45 Ethernet cable to the rear of the module.
  5. Connect another pre-terminated RJ45 Ethernet cable to the front of the module.
  6. For installations requiring more space, use a right-angled pre-made cable on the rear connection.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with standard RJ45 Ethernet cables.
  • Supports Cat6A shielded standards for speeds up to 10000 Mbit/s and 500MHz.
  • Can be used with single or double insert faceplates (this model is a single insert).
  • Available in Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a, and Cat7 variants.

Care:

  • Clean the faceplate surface with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Ensure connections are secure and free from dust or debris.
