Socket-outlet RJ-45 METZ CONNECT 130C371101-I

The METZ CONNECT 130C371101-I is a termination unit with one or two 8‑pole RJ45 jacks designed for mounting in a cable duct or flush-mounted/cavity wall casings. Intended for structured cabling, it supports Category 6A performance and is certified to relevant standards, offering compatibility with 10 Gbit Ethernet, Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+/UPoE) and HDBaseT. The enclosure is available in pure white (RAL 9010) or pearl white (RAL 1013) with integrated dust protection covers and a label window for identification.

Advantages

The unit provides component-level compliance for Class EA up to 500 MHz and has been tested to higher frequencies (components up to 600 MHz, links up to 800 MHz) according to ISO/IEC and TIA/EIA standards, ensuring reliable high-speed transmission. An ergonomically shaped LSA terminal block optimised for high-frequency technology simplifies wiring. Front-side screw access for the strain relief cover and shield connection, eight-sided cable entry and a 45° downward plug direction improve installation flexibility in confined spaces.

Suitable for

• Structured cabling installations requiring Cat.6A performance
• 10 GBit Ethernet networks (IEEE 802.3an)
• Power over Ethernet deployments (PoE, PoE+, UPoE)
• AV distribution using HDBaseT
• Flush-mounted and cavity wall duct installations

How to use

Mount the termination unit into the cable duct or a standard flush-mounted or cavity wall casing. Prepare solid data conductors (AWG 26/1 to 22/1) and terminate them on the ergonomically shaped LSA terminal block following the colour code and the enclosed documentation. Secure strain relief and shield connection from the front using the screw points, then close the cover and insert the dust protection cap if required. Connect patch cables to the RJ45 jacks, observing the 45° downward plug orientation to ensure clearance in the installation environment.

Recommendations

For optimal performance in 10 GBit Ethernet and Class EA applications, use quality Cat.6A cabling, verify terminations with appropriate testing equipment, and ensure the shield is correctly connected when using screened cabling. Use the enclosed identification labels and the recommended label sheet accessory for clear port marking.
