Socket outlet Gira 245200 — 2×RJ-45 Cat6a, metallic finish

The Gira 245200 socket outlet features a metallic finish and two RJ-45 ports supporting Cat6a cabling, designed to provide reliable high-speed wired network connections for residential and commercial environments. Built for structured cabling systems, this outlet supports Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet where cabling and connected equipment allow, offering a compact in-wall solution for networked devices, switches, and patch panels.

Advantages

The metallic finish gives the outlet a durable surface and a modern appearance suitable for visible installations. Two RJ-45 Cat6a ports allow simultaneous connection of multiple devices or the creation of a small local distribution point. The device is intended for standard in-wall mounting, aligning with structured cabling practices to minimize signal loss and maintain consistent data rates over suitable cable runs.

Suitable for

When it may not be suitable

This outlet is a passive in-wall socket and does not include active electronics such as PoE injectors, switches, or signal converters. It will not improve network speed beyond the limits of the installed cabling and connected hardware; maximum throughput depends on the full link (cable category, termination quality, and endpoint devices).

Key specifications

How to use

Install the outlet into a compatible in-wall mounting frame according to local electrical and cabling regulations. Terminate Cat6a cables to the rear-side connection points following the appropriate wiring standard (T568A or T568B) and ensure tight, correct pairs. After installation, verify link integrity and performance with a network tester or certification tool to confirm correct wiring and target data rates.

What to consider before purchase

Recommendations

Use shielded or unshielded Cat6a cable consistent with your installation's grounding and EMI requirements, and perform post-installation testing to validate link quality. For PoE or high-power applications, ensure connectors and cable runs meet the power and thermal considerations of the system.
