Product Description
What this faceplate does
A Cat6 RJ45 wall socket gives you a fixed, permanent network point on a wall instead of trailing an Ethernet cable across a room. It's the outlet half of a structured cabling job — the cable run terminates behind it, and you plug your device (camera, NVR, PC, switch) into the front.
Where it fits in a CCTV or network setup
For CCTV buyers, this type of outlet is typically used where a PoE (Power over Ethernet) camera or NVR needs a tidy, fixed connection point rather than a cable dangling out of the wall — for example bringing a structured cable run to a study, server cupboard or camera position.
Before you buy, check:
- Cabling — this plate is built for Cat6 Ethernet cable; confirm your existing or planned cable run is Cat6 to get the expected performance.
- Back box — it's designed to mount into a standard back box in the wall, so check you have (or are fitting) one that matches.
- Port type — it presents a standard RJ45 female port, the same connector shape used on routers, switches, cameras and NVRs, so anything with an RJ45 lead will plug straight in.
This is a passive termination accessory — it doesn't power or process anything itself, it simply gives your Cat6 cabling a proper, permanent socket at the wall.
