Surface-mounted shielded 8-port CAT5E patch panel box ACT FA5001, 173×44×109 mm

ACT FA5001 is a surface-mounted shielded 8-port CAT5E patch panel box designed to house and protect Ethernet keystone jacks or modular connectors in wall or surface installations. With compact external dimensions of 173×44×109 mm, the enclosure provides metal shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and keeps multiple network terminations organized in offices, data closets and home networks.

Advantages

The metallic construction and internal shielding of this surface-mounted patch panel box help maintain signal integrity by reducing external interference. Its eight-port layout allows consolidation of multiple Ethernet terminations in a single compact enclosure, simplifying cable management and making future maintenance easier. The enclosure is suitable for mounting on flat surfaces and offers a neat, professional finish for visible installations.

Suitable for

• Wall- or surface-mounted Ethernet terminations in offices and residential premises
• Small server rooms and network closets where CAT5E patching is required
• Installations requiring shielded enclosures to reduce EMI
• Organizing multiple keystone jacks or modular RJ45 connectors in a compact footprint

Key specifications

• Form factor: surface-mounted box for 8 modular keystone ports
• Category compatibility: CAT5E
• Shielding: metal enclosure with EMI protection
• External dimensions: 173 × 44 × 109 mm
• Material: metal housing for improved grounding and durability
• Port type: modular keystone / RJ45 compatible apertures

How to use

Mount the enclosure on a flat vertical surface using appropriate screws and anchors for the substrate. Terminate individual Ethernet keystone jacks or modular connectors into the keystone apertures, following standard wiring schemes for CAT5E (T568A or T568B). Ensure proper grounding of the metal enclosure to maintain shielding effectiveness and follow local installation regulations. After wiring, secure the patch panel cover and verify connections with a network tester to confirm continuity and category compliance.
