Socket-outlet ShiverPeaks S/CONN 74280-A — 2×RJ-45, Cat6a, 500 MHz, metal housing, anthracite

ShiverPeaks S/CONN 74280-A is a dual-port socket outlet featuring two RJ-45 ports that support Category 6a cabling and transmission up to 500 MHz. Housed in a durable metal enclosure with a matt anthracite finish, this module is designed for structured cabling systems and professional Ethernet endpoints where higher bandwidth and improved shielding are required. The product is supplied as a single unit and is compatible with standard keystone or faceplate installations.

Advantages

The metal housing provides enhanced shielding against electromagnetic interference, contributing to stable high-speed data transmission. Support for Cat6a and frequencies up to 500 MHz enables 10 Gigabit Ethernet over appropriate cabling and short links. The dual RJ-45 configuration allows two independent network connections in one outlet, saving space and simplifying cable management. The matt anthracite finish offers a neutral, professional appearance that integrates into office and data center environments.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet endpoints in offices and server rooms
• Structured cabling installations requiring Cat6a performance
• Workstations, networked AV equipment and IP devices
• Shielded or high-interference environments where metal housing is preferred

Key specifications

• Connector type: 2 × RJ-45
• Category: Cat6a
• Frequency rating: up to 500 MHz
• Housing material: metal
• Finish: matt anthracite
• Configuration: dual-port socket outlet (single module supply)

How to use

Install the socket outlet into a compatible wall plate or patch panel opening following standard installation procedures for keystone-style modules. Terminate Cat6a cables to each RJ-45 jack using appropriate termination tools and follow T568A or T568B wiring schemes consistently. After termination, verify continuity and performance with a qualified cable tester capable of Cat6a/500 MHz testing. Secure the module in place and connect patch cords to the front ports for network access.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use with certified Cat6a shielded twisted-pair cabling and maintain proper grounding for the metal housing. Keep cable runs within recommended length limits for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and perform post-installation testing to confirm link performance and shielding effectiveness.
