RJ45 CAT5e Network Outlet - Anthracite Screwless

The Knightsbridge RJ45 network outlet provides a single CAT5e Ethernet port behind an anthracite screwless faceplate with a built-in gasket. The outlet uses IDC terminals on the rear for tool-free cable termination and includes shuttered protection over the RJ45 port when not in use. The fitting is certified to BS 5733 for data transmission performance.

Designed for hardwired network points in home offices, media rooms and commercial installations where Wi-Fi is unreliable or bandwidth-heavy devices need stable Ethernet connections, the outlet fits a standard 35mm minimum back box depth. The screwless design means the cover plate clips onto a separate sub-frame with no visible fixings on the wall, giving a cleaner finish than traditional screw-fixed faceplates. The 4.3mm projection from the wall is minimal compared to surface-mount alternatives.

The anthracite finish is a deep charcoal grey with a smooth, low-sheen surface that sits between matt black and brushed steel in tone. The premium-grade steel construction provides durability in high-traffic areas and the IP20 rating makes it suitable for dry interior locations. A write-on designation label on the rear of the faceplate allows installers to mark which network point the outlet connects to, useful in multi-room installations where cable runs are not immediately obvious.

Product Specification Sheet

Product Manual

What cable category does it support?

The outlet is rated for CAT5e unshielded twisted pair cabling, supporting Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 1000 Mbps at distances of up to 100m from the network switch or router.

What does IDC termination mean?

IDC stands for Insulation Displacement Connector. The cable cores push directly into the terminals at the rear of the outlet without needing to strip the insulation first. An IDC punch-down tool is included with the outlet for this purpose.

Is the screwless plate removable for redecorating?

Yes. The cover plate clips onto a separate metal sub-frame fixed to the back box. The cover can be removed for painting around the outlet and re-clipped without disturbing the cable connections.

What other finishes are available in this range?

Knightsbridge produces this outlet style in a range of finishes including polished chrome, brushed chrome, matt black, white and polished brass. Use the search function or filters to find other variants in stock at Niori.
