Surface-mounted shielded 8-port CAT6A box ACT FA7001, black, 173×109×44 mm, 110/Krone punch-down

Surface-mounted shielded network box ACT FA7001 is designed to accommodate an 8-port CAT6A punch-down module for shielded Ethernet installations. The enclosure is made of metal and finished in black, with internal space sized to accept standard 110/Krone-style IDC punch-down terminations and to provide proper grounding for shielded cabling. Its compact footprint of 173×109×44 mm suits wall-mounted or surface-mounted mounting where organized termination and electromagnetic noise reduction are required.

Advantages

The metal, shielded construction reduces electromagnetic interference and helps maintain cable performance in environments with potential noise sources. The enclosure supports standard 110 and Krone IDC punch-down tools, allowing compatibility with common installer toolsets and termination modules. Its surface-mounted format simplifies installation on walls or flat surfaces without requiring in-wall mounting, while the compact dimensions provide space for neat cable management and secure connector placement.

Suitable for

• Termination of up to eight Cat6A shielded network ports
• Small office or home office surface-mounted network outlets
• Environments requiring shielded enclosures to reduce EMI and crosstalk
• Retrofit installations where in-wall wiring is not available

Key specifications

• Enclosure type: surface-mounted, shielded metal box
• Port capacity: space for 8 CAT6A punch-down ports
• Punch-down compatibility: 110 and Krone IDC termination styles
• External dimensions: 173 × 109 × 44 mm
• Color: black
• Grounding provision: supports shield grounding through metal housing

How to use

Mount the box to a flat surface using appropriate screws and anchors for the substrate. Fit an 8-port punch-down module into the internal mounting points, route the shielded Cat6A cables into the enclosure, and perform IDC terminations with a compatible 110 or Krone punch-down tool. Ensure the cable shield is terminated to the enclosure grounding point or to a shielded connector according to the system grounding scheme. Close the enclosure and confirm that all terminations are secure and that continuity between cable shields and the enclosure ground is established where required.

Recommendations

Use this shielded surface box in installations where maintaining Cat6A performance and minimizing EMI are important. Always follow local grounding and cabling standards when terminating shielded twisted pair cables, and use proper punch-down tools to avoid damage to conductors and IDC contacts.
