Socket-outlet 2 x RJ-45 ShiverPeaks 74280-G, Cat6a, 500 MHz, metal housing, green

ShiverPeaks S/CONN 74280-G is a dual-port RJ-45 socket outlet engineered for structured cabling in commercial and residential network installations. The module supports Category 6a cabling and transmission up to 500 MHz, providing the electrical and mechanical compatibility required for high-speed Ethernet links. Housed in a matt-finish metal enclosure and finished in green, the unit is designed for mounting in wall plates or patch panels and is supplied as a single piece.

Advantages

The metal housing offers enhanced mechanical protection and improved electromagnetic shielding compared with plastic alternatives, while the matt finish reduces visible wear and reflections. Supporting Cat6a and up to 500 MHz frequency ensures headroom for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over suitable cabling. Dual RJ-45 ports in a single outlet save space in installation points and simplify patching and device connections.

Suitable for

• Data and voice cabling in offices and server rooms
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links over Cat6a cabling
• Wall-mounted network outlets and guided patch-panel installations
• Environments requiring improved shielding and mechanical robustness

Key specifications

• Connector type: 2 × RJ-45
• Cabling category: Cat6a
• Frequency range: up to 500 MHz
• Housing material: metal with matt finish
• Color: green
• Mounting: wall plate or patch panel compatible
• Supply: single unit (sold as 1 piece)

How to use

Install the socket outlet into a compatible wall plate or patch panel following local cabling standards. Terminate each Cat6a cable onto the RJ-45 keystone module or connector points according to the chosen wiring scheme (T568A or T568B) and verify pair continuity and performance with a suitable network tester. After termination and insertion into the mounting frame, secure the module and connect patch cords to the RJ-45 ports for device or switch connections.

Recommendations

To achieve the specified performance, use certified Cat6a cabling and maintain correct pair untwisting limits during termination. Keep the metal housing properly grounded if required by local installation rules to optimize shielding. Validate the installed links with a tester capable of verifying performance up to 500 MHz.
