RJ45 Connector — The Standard for Wired Computer Networking
An RJ45 network socket has a socket that accepts RJ45 connectors. The RJ45 connector is the global standard for Ethernet connectors found in almost all computers, routers, switches, and any devices connected to a network across the globe. This connector type can accept Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6a cables enabling speed capabilities of up to 10 gigabits. RJ45 is incorporated into an 86x86mm box which makes the cable entry point at the level of the wall and hence prevents any accidental bumps to the connection point. The iron inner plate of the panel ensures that the panel does not bend on repeated insertion and removal of the connected cable, which puts it a step ahead of completely plastic models that can easily deform. There is no need for any electrical connections because it uses a passive plug and the device has been certified according to IEC 60670-1:2015 and EN IEC 60670-1:2021/A11:2021.
RJ45 Data Socket — R30 Series Ethernet Network Wall Socket, Iron Middle Plate, 86×86mm PC Panel
British standard RJ45 data wall socket R30442 is an RJ45 Ethernet, structured cabling wall socket, which is terminated into robust 86×86mm R30 series wall plate. As such, it can be used to provide an effortless connection point for computers, routers, switches, Wi-Fi access points, IP cameras, smart televisions, gaming consoles and other devices which can take advantage of the correct connection via reliable wired set up. Unlike plastic only solutions, the steel middle plate guarantees that the whole panel is structurally rigid and functions well even in busy commercial areas where cables are constantly connected and disconnected. The R30442 RJ45 socket is available in four R30 series PC panel colors — White, Gold, Gray and Black. The socket is certified to IEC 60670-1:2015 and EN IEC 60670-1:2021/A11:2021 standards plus gives one-year warranty to customers.
We are a factory-direct producer providing the most competitive wholesale prices, OEM branding offered on any color PC panel color, and 1 year warranty on R30 series electronics products.
Why Install a Wired Data Socket When There’s WiFi?
Wireless internet connectivity through WiFi is convenient; however, wired Ethernet wall sockets ensure uninterrupted and stable bandwidth which is something that WiFi cannot provide. For home office users that work with video calls and large file transfers, wired connectivity helps combat latency and interruptions. For televisions and game consoles in the mediarium, wired connectivity means stable 4K video without delays. For the security cameras using wireless network, wired connectivity reduces interference and lack of power supply. For business premises, wired data points provide the overall network support due to WiFi being just a complementary feature.
Matching the R30 Series — Data Socket in the Same Classic Aesthetic
This white PC data socket belongs to the R30 series and has identical measurements of 86×86mm along with the same high-speed and durable PC lamina, as those that can be found in R30 power sockets, R30 switches, and R30 satellite sockets. The middle plate made from iron has a similar structural strength as the rest of R30 devices. In a home office, it is common to use this type of R30442 data socket along with other R30 switches and sockets having the same dimensions, identical materials, and matching colors. This socket is produced in White, Gold, Gray, and Black shades.

Data Socket vs Telephone Socket vs WiFi: Choosing the Right Network Wall Socket
A practical guide to specifying RJ45 data sockets for residential and commercial structured cabling installations.
RJ45 Data Socket vs RJ11 Telephone Socket — Know the Difference
The R30442 computer connector is an RJ45 community, which is wider and has eight contacts and is built for Ethernet use. The telephone connector is an RJ11 connection, which is smaller, has four contacts, and is meant for telephone use. Although an RJ11 connector can fit into an RJ45 connector, this type of connection should not be done, as it can eventually ruin the RJ45 connections. Therefore, the RJ45 connection must only be used for networking and the RJ11 connection must only be used for telephone lines.
Why Choose a Wired Data Socket Over WiFi?
In terms of reliable and uninterrupted connections, you can’t really outdo a wired Ethernet wall socket. In home offices, there’s no video call delay or glitchy uploads, while in media areas it allows smooth 4K streaming on smart TVs and games consoles. For IP cameras, being wired is the best solution for avoiding signal interference issues. In offices as well, wired data sockets are part of the basic networking infrastructure. There is a strong middle plate in the R30442 model for extra robustness to be provided in the busy commercial setup.
Installation
The R30442 fits into the regular British size of back box which is 86 x 86mm. For this device, you need to use either Category 5, Category 6 or Category 6a Twisted Pair cable along with a standard 8P8C connector or punch-down termination. The iron plate fixed at the center provides strength while inserting cables into the socket box. The device does not need electricity for installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an RJ45 data wall socket?
The RJ45 wall socket offers a professional wall mounted solution for connecting network equipment. R30442 is a standard RJ45 wall socket. It has got an RJ45 port for connecting equipment like computers and gaming consoles.
What is the difference between RJ45 and RJ11 sockets?
RJ45 connections for Ethernet computers have 8 pins, this socket is also wider than the RJ11 connection. The RJ11 connection is used for telephones and has only 4 pins. Even though it might be possible to connect an RJ11 plug into an RJ45 socket which is not recommended for future Ethernet purposes to use only RJ45 pins and the RJ45 socket.
Does this data socket require an electrical connection?
No, the R30442 is a socket of the type that passes through the signal only. Thus, it doesn’t need to be connected to mains power. Its function is simply to act as a point of termination for structured cable to be installed coming from a router or switch. The 86x86mm panel fits into the standard UK back box along with other R30 accessories. PoE devices depend upon their connection to the Ethernet-cable to be powered.
What colors is this British standard data socket available in?
Across four colors, the R30 series data socket brings versatility to your home or workplace. The four color options available are white (for traditional homes and offices), gold (for posh designs), gray (offering a contemporary look for modern flats), and black (for people who want a striking contrast in dark theme interiors).
