RJ-45 Socket Outlet METZ CONNECT 1401110012KE Black IP67

The METZ CONNECT 1401110012KE is a black, IP67-protected RJ45 wall outlet designed for surface mounting. It accepts a Cat.6 Class EA RJ45 field jack insert with T568A pin assignment and provides a robust connection point for 10 GBit Ethernet, PoE variants and HDBaseT in harsh or industrial environments. The flange housing uses a bayonet lock per ISO/IEC 24702 and IEC 61076-3-106 and includes features that simplify installation and increase mechanical resilience.

Advantages

The outlet meets Class EA performance according to ISO/IEC 11801 Ed.2.2 and DIN EN 50173-1 standards and supports IEEE 802.3an 10 GBit Ethernet plus Remote Powering (PoE, PoE+ and UPoE). Its IP67-protected housing and reinforced shield connection with four springs offer increased resistance to vibrations and shocks. The unit allows termination of AWG 26/7 to 22/7 (and AWG 26/1 to 22/1) conductors, requires no special tools for installation, and permits series surface-mounting for flexible deployment.

Suitable for

• Industrial and outdoor network sockets where IP67 protection is required
• 10 GBit Ethernet links and high-speed Cat.6 Class EA installations
• Power over Ethernet deployments (PoE, PoE+, UPoE)
• Audio/video transmission systems using HDBaseT
• Environments with vibration or mechanical stress

How to use

Mount the flange housing on a suitable flat surface using the provided fixing points, then terminate the Cat.6 Class EA RJ45 field jack insert following the T568A wiring scheme. Insert the terminated module into the bayonet-lock housing until it engages according to ISO/IEC 24702. Connect external RJ45 plugs as needed (note that connection of standard RJ45 plugs does not retain IP67 protection). Ensure cable preparation matches the supported AWG conductor sizes and that the shield is secured using the built-in springs for reliable mechanical and EMI performance.

Recommendations

For sustained IP67 protection, verify that the housing is properly closed after insertion and avoid mating unsealed RJ45 plugs outdoors; use appropriate cable glands and strain reliefs. Choose the T568A pinout if consistency with existing installations is required, or select the T568B variant where applicable.
