Socket-outlet 2 x RJ-45 ShiverPeaks 74280-PW — Cat6a, 500 MHz, pearl white, metal housing

ShiverPeaks S/CONN 74280-PW is a dual RJ-45 socket-outlet engineered for Category 6a structured cabling. The module supports transmission frequencies up to 500 MHz and provides two network ports in a single matte pearl-white metal housing designed for wall mounting. Intended for professional LAN installations, this compact faceplate combines a robust metal enclosure with Cat6a performance to support high-speed data links in offices, server rooms and commercial environments.

Advantages

The metal housing delivers improved mechanical protection and enhanced shielding against electromagnetic interference compared with plastic alternatives. Dual RJ-45 ports in one module reduce wall-space requirements and simplify cable management. Category 6a compliance and 500 MHz bandwidth ensure compatibility with 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short distances and provide headroom for demanding network applications. The matte pearl-white finish offers a neutral appearance suitable for professional interiors.

Suitable for

• Office workstations and open-plan office installations
• Server rooms and network racks with wall- or panel-mounted outlets
• Conference rooms, classrooms and multimedia setups
• Structured cabling projects requiring Cat6a performance

• Frequency range: up to 500 MHz
• Supported applications: 10 Gigabit Ethernet (where cabling distances allow)
• Housing material: metal for mechanical protection and shielding
• Finish: matt pearl white
• Mounting: wall installation / structured cabling faceplate module
• Number of ports: 2

How to use

Install the module into a compatible wall box or faceplate frame according to local wiring standards. Terminate each network cable onto the rear-side IDC or punch-down contacts following the colour code for Category 6a cabling (TIA/EIA or applicable regional standard). Secure the metal housing to the wall box and connect patch cables to the front RJ-45 ports. Verify continuity and performance with appropriate cable testers and link certification tools to confirm Cat6a bandwidth and correct pinout.

Recommendations

For reliable 10 Gigabit performance, use high-quality Cat6a or better cabling and keep horizontal link lengths within specified limits. Ensure proper grounding of the metal housing where required by installation regulations. Use certified testing equipment to validate channel performance after installation.
