Choosing a network faceplate
Ready made or modular?
RJ45 wall plates come with their network modules, making them the quickest option for 1, 2 or 4 network points. Modular faceplates are a frame plate that takes 50 x 25mm modules: a single gang frame takes two modules and a double gang frame takes four, so you can combine network sockets with HDMI, USB, VGA, audio and TV or satellite connections in one plate and fill any spare spaces with blanks.
CAT5e or CAT6?
Match the faceplate modules to the cable and patch panel you are installing. A network link only performs to the standard of its lowest rated part, so use CAT6 modules with CAT6 cable for CAT6 performance.
Single or double gang?
A single gang plate (86 x 86mm) takes up to two network ports and a double gang plate (86 x 145mm) up to four. Fit the plate to a flush wall box or to one of our surface mount back boxes; the 45mm deep boxes leave more room behind the plate for the cable to bend gently, which is especially useful with CAT6.
Wiring the modules
Network modules are terminated with a punch down tool following the colour coded T568A or T568B wiring guide. Use the same standard as your patch panel, then test each socket with a cable tester.
To finish the installation you will also need bulk network cable for the runs and patch leads from our ethernet cable range to connect your devices. Tidy cable exits behind TVs and desks with a brush plate.
