ABB Inora 2 Gang TV and RJ45 Cat 5e Data Outlet White BL325

This outlet supports a coaxial TV service operating within 5–1000 MHz and an RJ45 Cat.5e connection for Ethernet or compatible structured cabling applications. The exact rear termination method and compatible faceplate or mounting accessories should be confirmed against the ABB Inora BL325 technical documentation before installation.

The 5–1000 MHz specification indicates the supported frequency range of the TV outlet path. This range is commonly used for terrestrial television, cable television and other compatible RF distribution systems. Final reception quality depends on the building's antenna or TV distribution system, cable type, splitter losses, signal level and correct termination.

When installed as part of a correctly designed Cat.5e channel, the RJ45 outlet can support common Ethernet applications, including Gigabit Ethernet up to 1000 Mbps over a channel length of up to 100 metres. Actual performance depends on the cable category, patch leads, termination quality, network equipment, route length and compliance of the complete cabling channel.

Yes, it is suitable for indoor TV and structured data installations in UAE villas, apartments, offices, hotels and commercial developments, provided it matches the approved project specification. Installation should comply with applicable UAE electrical and telecommunications requirements, local authority rules, consultant drawings and the relevant service provider's cabling guidelines.

The ABB Inora BL325 is commonly installed behind televisions, in living rooms, bedrooms, hotel rooms, meeting rooms, reception areas and office workspaces. Combining TV and data services at one wall position helps create a cleaner finish and supports smart televisions, IPTV equipment, desktop computers, media players and other compatible network devices.

Mount the outlet in a compatible wall box and complete the coaxial and Cat.5e terminations according to ABB instructions and the approved wiring layout. Maintain the specified cable bend radius, avoid crushing or sharply bending cables, preserve pair twists close to the RJ45 termination and ensure the coaxial shield is properly prepared. Both links should be tested before the outlet is secured and handed over.

Cable routing should follow the approved project design and applicable UAE requirements. TV coaxial and data cables may be routed within an ELV system where permitted, but they should be kept appropriately separated from mains power cables to reduce interference and maintain safety. Use dedicated containment, partitions or the separation distances specified by the consultant, authority or cabling standard.

Use a compliant Cat.5e cable for the RJ45 data connection and a suitable 75-ohm coaxial cable for the TV connection. Cable fire rating, shielding, jacket type and containment method should be selected according to the building type, indoor installation conditions, UAE fire and life-safety requirements, and the project's approved material schedule.

No. The RJ45 outlet is a passive termination point and does not generate Wi-Fi or internet service. It must be connected through structured cabling to a router, network switch or patch panel. The TV connection must similarly be connected to a compatible antenna, MATV, SMATV or cable TV distribution system.

The Cat.5e link should be tested for wire map, continuity, pair faults and, where required, certified channel or permanent-link performance. The TV connection should be checked for continuity, correct shielding, signal level and signal quality across the required frequency range. Test results should be recorded where project handover documentation or consultant approval requires them.

Install the outlet only after the wall box is secure and wet trades are substantially complete. Protect the mechanism from paint, plaster, cement dust and moisture, and prevent excessive cable tension inside the box. Confirm mounting depth, wall finish thickness and cable entry positions before final fixing to avoid damaged terminations or an uneven faceplate.

Either T568A or T568B may be used if supported by the outlet's termination layout, but the same scheme must be applied consistently at both ends of the cable. Contractors should follow the project's structured cabling specification, labelling schedule and patch-panel configuration to prevent crossed pairs and network faults.

This type of wall outlet is generally intended for dry indoor locations. It should not be exposed directly to rain, washdown water, condensation, high dust levels or outdoor UAE weather unless installed within a suitably rated enclosure approved for those conditions. Check the product's declared environmental and ingress-protection ratings before use in demanding areas.

Keep the outlet clean and dry, avoid pulling connected leads sideways, and use good-quality Cat.5e patch cords and 75-ohm TV leads. If network speed drops or TV reception becomes unstable, inspect the patch cables, rear terminations, coaxial connectors, distribution equipment and signal source. Any damaged mechanism should be replaced rather than repaired with unapproved components.
