RUTENBECK TAE 3x6 NFN Surface-Mount Telephone Socket, Pure White

For installations where a flush-mounted socket isn't practical, the RUTENBECK TAE 3x6 NFN AP offers a robust surface-mount solution with three separate TAE ports in a single compact housing. Unlike basic single sockets, this unit provides one F-coded socket for telephones and two N-coded sockets for auxiliary devices such as answering machines, faxes, or modems, all in pure white to blend seamlessly with any interior.

Highlights

• Three TAE sockets: 1× F (phone) + 2× N (auxiliary devices)
• Surface-mounted (AP) design for easy retrofit or exposed wiring
• Pure white (reinweiß) finish suits modern and classic decors
• Screw terminals ensure secure, maintenance-free connections
• Integrated strain relief protects cables from accidental pulls
• Multiple knock-out cable entries on rear and sides for flexible routing
• Complies with German TAE standards for analog and DSL (with splitter)

In daily use

The NFN configuration lets you connect a primary telephone to the F-socket while simultaneously using two additional analog devices on the N-sockets. Whether it's an answering machine, a fax, or a DSL modem with a splitter, all connections remain tidy and accessible. The screw terminals accept standard telephone wire (e.g., J-Y(ST)Y), and the housing's knock-outs allow cable entry from behind or the side, minimizing visible wiring. Installation is straightforward: secure the base plate to the wall, terminate the wires, and snap on the cover. The pure white colour resists yellowing and is easy to clean.
