Keystone module METZ CONNECT 1309428103-E Angled Grey RJ-45

The METZ CONNECT angled keystone module is designed for RJ-45 network connections in structured cabling installations. With a compact grey housing measuring 17.5 mm in width and 60 mm in both depth and height, the module provides an angled outlet that simplifies cable routing and reduces strain on connectors in tight spaces. The unit fits standard keystone openings and is intended for use in patch panels, faceplates and distribution frames where space-efficient, reliable Ethernet connectivity is required.

Advantages

The angled design allows for improved cable management by directing patch cables away from the panel, which reduces bending stress on the RJ-45 connection. Its compact dimensions make it suitable where depth is limited, helping to preserve rack and faceplate space. The neutral grey finish integrates unobtrusively into most installations. The module is compatible with standard keystone mounting systems and provides a consistent footprint for quick installation and replacement.

Suitable for

• Patch panels in data cabinets and communication racks
• Wall-mounted faceplates and surface-mount boxes with keystone openings
• Network extensions and workstation cabling in offices and commercial premises
• Environments where rear clearance is limited and angled exits reduce cable stress

Key specifications

• Connector type: RJ-45 keystone module, angled outlet
• Color: grey
• Width: 17.5 mm
• Depth: 60 mm
• Height: 60 mm
• Mounting: standard keystone snap-in
• Application: structured cabling for Ethernet networks

How to use

Install the module by snapping it into a compatible keystone opening in a patch panel, faceplate or surface-mount box. Terminate the network cable to the corresponding RJ-45 connector following the selected wiring scheme (T568A or T568B) and verify each pair with a cable tester. Ensure the angled outlet is oriented to provide the desired cable exit path and secure adjacent modules as required to maintain stability in the panel or plate.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, use the module with compatible RJ-45 plugs and patch cords designed for the supported Ethernet category. Avoid excessive bending or tension on the cable at the outlet; maintain appropriate bend radius and secure cables with cable management accessories. Inspect regularly for wear in high-traffic environments and replace if contacts or housing show damage.
