ABB Inora 2 Gang RJ45 Cat 6 Data Outlet Classic Grey BL329-G

When installed as part of a fully compliant Category 6 channel, the socket can support Gigabit Ethernet and data frequencies up to 250 MHz. Actual performance depends on the cable, connectors, patch panels, patch cords, termination quality and total channel length. Every component in the link should meet the required CAT.6 specification.

The two-gang configuration provides two separate data connection points at one location. Each port requires its own dedicated CAT.6 cable run back to the patch panel, network cabinet or designated consolidation point. This arrangement is useful for connecting two computers, a computer and IP telephone, or other compatible network devices without installing separate wall outlets.

It is suitable for indoor structured cabling installations in UAE villas, apartments, offices, retail outlets, hotels, schools, clinics and other commercial buildings. Typical applications include workstations, smart TVs, routers, IP phones, network printers and compatible IP-based building systems.

Installation should be completed by a qualified ELV or structured cabling technician. Route one CAT.6 cable to each outlet, maintain the cable twist as close as possible to the termination point, follow the selected T568A or T568B wiring scheme consistently, secure the conductors with the correct termination tool and fit the socket into a compatible mounting box. Avoid excessive pulling force, sharp bends, crushed cable and tight cable ties.

Either T568A or T568B may be used where supported by the installed data module, but the same scheme must be followed at both ends of every permanent cable link. T568B is commonly encountered in structured cabling projects, while project specifications may require a particular scheme. The approved consultant drawings and cabling schedule should always take priority.

During first-fix construction, provide a compatible concealed or surface mounting box, suitable conduit capacity, accessible cable routes and adequate separation from power circuits. During second fix, confirm that plaster, paint and wall finishes are complete and dry before fitting the socket. The box should be level, free from debris and deep enough to accommodate cable bend radius without compressing the termination.

Data and power cables should not normally share the same conduit or compartment unless an approved segregated system is specifically designed for that purpose. Proper separation helps reduce electromagnetic interference and supports electrical safety. Installers should follow the project specification, applicable UAE authority requirements and recognized structured cabling practices.

Yes, it is relevant to UAE residential and commercial projects requiring organized CAT.6 network outlets and a durable, professional wall finish. Selection and installation should comply with the approved project specification, consultant requirements, applicable local authority regulations and recognized standards such as ISO/IEC 11801 or ANSI/TIA-568 where specified.

The outlet may form part of a Power over Ethernet link when all channel components are correctly rated and the complete installation meets the required Ethernet and PoE specification. Suitability depends on the installed cable, connector rating, patch panel, network switch, device power demand, cable bundling and ambient temperature. Confirm these requirements with the project’s ELV designer or network engineer.

Each port should be identified and tested after termination. Basic wire-map testing checks continuity, pair order, opens, shorts and split pairs. For projects requiring certified CAT.6 performance, use a calibrated cable certification tester to verify parameters such as insertion loss, return loss, near-end crosstalk and link length. Test reports should be retained as part of the project handover documentation.

A standard copper Ethernet channel is generally limited to 100 metres, typically comprising up to 90 metres of permanent horizontal cable plus patch cords at both ends. Project design, PoE load, ambient temperature and cable bundling can affect installation requirements, so the structured cabling design should be reviewed before long cable runs are installed.

The classic grey finish works well with contemporary offices, industrial-style interiors, utility areas and coordinated grey electrical accessories. Before ordering for a large project, confirm the colour and accessory range against the approved interior finish schedule, as screen displays and lighting conditions can affect how the shade appears.

This wall socket is primarily intended for protected indoor locations. For balconies, gardens, external service areas or other locations exposed to dust, moisture, condensation, heat or direct sunlight, use a suitably rated weatherproof enclosure and outdoor-rated cabling system selected by a qualified engineer. The required IP rating should match the site conditions and UAE project specification.

Use certified CAT.6 patch cords, keep ports clean and dry, avoid pulling or sharply bending connected leads and clearly label both outlets. Do not paint over the socket or insert damaged plugs. If connection speed becomes unstable, inspect the patch cords first and then have the permanent link retested by a structured cabling technician.
