The single shuttered RJ45 socket accepts unshielded twisted pair cabling terminated to an IDC connector behind the faceplate, supporting 10Gbps data transmission over distances up to 100m at 500MHz bandwidth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for commercial, industrial and utility installations where surface-mount network points are needed on solid walls, concrete surfaces or metal framework, the outlet ships as a complete unit with the back box pre-fitted to the steel faceplate. The IP20 rating suits dry indoor environments including offices, retail stockrooms, warehouses and plant rooms. The earth terminal on the steel enclosure provides continuity through the installation for grounded systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe powder-coated grey finish provides abrasion resistance and blends neutrally against light-grey or white commercial wall surfaces. The outlet conforms to ANSI\/TIA\/EIA 568B.2-10 for CAT6a performance and accepts 16-20 AWG wire gauges on the IDC termination. The unit operates across -10°C to 60°C, covering unheated storage spaces and server rooms with active cooling. Insulation resistance measures below 500mΩ at 100V DC, and the socket withstands 1000V DC \/ 700V AC RMS test voltage for one minute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBackward compatibility with CAT6 and CAT5e cabling means the outlet can be installed as a future-proofed socket on existing lower-spec runs, though actual throughput will be limited by the installed cable category. The shuttered RJ45 port keeps dust and debris out of the socket when no cable is plugged in, reducing contamination in industrial or dusty environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e81.2mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e81.2mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e44.4mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSPCC Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePowder-coated Silver\/Grey\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP20\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEarth Terminal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTerminal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIDC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 Year Guarantee\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloads\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/datasheet-MC6.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct Specification Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's the difference between CAT6a and CAT6?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCAT6a supports 10Gbps over 100m at 500MHz, while CAT6 supports 10Gbps only over shorter distances (up to 55m) at 250MHz.
