WT-2404A Wall-Mount 1×RJ45 Outlet for Keystone Module, Module Not Included

WT-2404A wall-mount 1×RJ45 outlet for a Keystone module is a compact surface-mount enclosure designed to create a single permanent network connection point using a compatible Keystone-format module. The outlet provides a convenient solution for installing an RJ45 network port without the need for a recessed wall box or flush-mounted installation.

The WT-2404A features one mounting position for a Keystone RJ45 module and is suitable for structured cabling systems in apartments, private homes, offices, server rooms, commercial buildings, administrative facilities, and other locations where a reliable Ethernet connection point is required.

The Keystone module is not included and must be purchased separately. This allows the installer to select a compatible module according to the required network category, cable type, shielding configuration, and performance requirements.

What is the WT-2404A RJ45 wall outlet used for?

The wall-mount outlet is designed to create a termination point for horizontal network cabling. A twisted-pair cable is routed to the installation location and terminated in a separately purchased Keystone module. Once the module is installed in the enclosure, it provides a standard RJ45 network port for connecting equipment with a patch cord.

The completed network outlet can be used to connect:

• desktop computers and workstations;
• laptops via compatible Ethernet adapters;
• network switches;
• routers;
• IP surveillance cameras;
• Wi-Fi access points;
• IP phones;
• Smart TVs and media players;
• network printers;
• NAS storage systems;
• other Ethernet-enabled network equipment.

Surface-mount installation without a recessed wall box

One of the main advantages of the WT-2404A wall-mount outlet is its surface-mount design. The enclosure can be installed directly on a suitable wall, furniture panel, or other surface without requiring a conventional recessed wall box.

This type of installation is especially useful when concealed cabling is impossible or impractical. It is a convenient solution for upgrading an existing network, installing additional Ethernet connections in finished rooms, or routing network cable through surface-mounted cable trunking.

The surface-mount design helps create a neat network termination point without extensive construction work or cutting into the wall.

One mounting position for a Keystone RJ45 module

WT-2404A is designed for installation of one compatible Keystone module. After installing an RJ45 Keystone module, the enclosure becomes a complete single-port data outlet.

The modular design allows the installer to select the appropriate Keystone module separately according to the requirements of the structured cabling system.

Depending on the selected module and other components, the outlet can be incorporated into network installations of different categories and configurations.

Keystone module is not included

It is important to note that WT-2404A is supplied without an RJ45 Keystone module. The enclosure and network module are separate components of the structured cabling system.

This configuration allows the required Keystone module to be selected specifically for the project instead of being limited to a pre-installed connector.

When choosing a module, consider the network cable category, shielding type, required data transmission performance, and physical compatibility with the outlet.

Use in structured cabling systems

The WT-2404A Keystone wall outlet can be used as the end point of a horizontal cabling link in a structured cabling system.

A typical network connection can be organized as follows:

patch panel → twisted-pair cable → Keystone module → WT-2404A wall outlet → patch cord → network device.

The modular design makes the outlet suitable for new installations as well as upgrades and expansion of existing network infrastructure.

Where can WT-2404A be used?

The single-port Keystone wall outlet is suitable for a wide range of installations, including:

• apartments and private homes;
• office networks;
• server rooms;
• shops and retail facilities;
• warehouses;
• educational facilities;
• medical and administrative buildings;
• hotels;
• industrial facilities;
• IP video surveillance systems;
• telecommunications facilities;
• home and corporate local area networks.

Convenient solution for cable trunking installations

WT-2404A is particularly useful when twisted-pair cable is installed in surface-mounted cable trunking. The network cable can be routed along the wall and terminated in a compact wall-mounted data outlet.

This installation method is commonly used in offices, shops, warehouses, technical rooms, and other finished premises where concealed cabling would require additional renovation work.

Flexible choice of network category

The WT-2404A itself serves as a mounting enclosure. Therefore, the network category and transmission characteristics depend primarily on the installed Keystone module, network cable, patch cords, patch panel, and other components of the cabling channel.

To build a network of a specific category, compatible components of the corresponding performance class should be used throughout the cabling system.

This modular approach makes WT-2404A a flexible solution because the required RJ45 Keystone module can be selected separately for a specific installation.

Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications

The maximum network speed is determined by the installed Keystone module and the other components of the cabling channel rather than by the outlet enclosure itself.

With a suitable Keystone module, cable, patch panel, and patch cords, the outlet can be incorporated into Gigabit Ethernet or higher-performance structured cabling systems.

For high-speed Ethernet applications, all major components of the cabling channel should meet the technical requirements of the selected network category.

Use with PoE equipment

The ability to transmit Power over Ethernet through the network connection depends on the installed Keystone module, network cable, patch panel, connectors, and other components of the cabling system.

When used with appropriate components, the WT-2404A network point can be part of a PoE cabling link for devices such as:

• PoE IP surveillance cameras;
• Wi-Fi access points;
• IP phones;
• network controllers;
• other Ethernet devices powered via PoE.

WT-2404A main specifications

How to install the WT-2404A wall outlet

Before installation, select the required mounting location and route the network cable to the outlet. The enclosure is mounted on a suitable surface, after which the twisted-pair cable is terminated in a compatible Keystone module.

Once the cable has been terminated, the Keystone module is installed in the corresponding mounting position inside the enclosure. This creates a complete RJ45 network connection point for connecting equipment with a patch cord.

After installation, it is recommended to test the completed network link with a suitable cable tester to verify correct conductor termination and connectivity.

How to choose a Keystone module for WT-2404A

When selecting a Keystone module, consider the specifications of the complete cabling system. The module category should correspond to the intended network category and the characteristics of the installed twisted-pair cable.

The installer should also consider whether the cabling system is shielded or unshielded and verify the physical compatibility of the selected Keystone module with the WT-2404A mounting position.

To achieve the specified performance of the cabling channel, it is recommended to use components of the appropriate category and follow proper twisted-pair cable installation practices.

Why choose the WT-2404A Keystone wall outlet?

WT-2404A is a practical solution for creating a single RJ45 network point where surface-mount installation is preferred. Because the enclosure is supplied without a pre-installed network module, the installer can select the required Keystone module according to the specifications of the particular network.

The outlet is particularly convenient for upgrading existing networks, routing cables through surface-mounted cable trunking, creating additional network connections, and installing Ethernet ports without concealed wall installation.
