The Metz Connect channel outlet unit 130B20D11102KE is an unpopulated, single-port outlet in Keystone format, designed for the integration of individual modules into existing network and communication installations. The device is available in pure white finish and features a matte structured surface, which optically integrates into switch programs with design central units. The module's insertion direction is inclined 45° downward, enabling ergonomic operation and improved strain relief. The strain relief on the module protects the connection cables from mechanical stress and extends the lifespan of the installation.
Applications
This outlet unit is suitable for use in structured cabling systems, particularly in offices, administrative buildings, and other facilities where clean and professional integration of network connections into existing switch and socket panels is required. It is compatible with design central units from switch programs, ensuring a uniform optical appearance of wall installations.
Functions and Equipment in Detail
The outlet features an integrated viewing window that can accommodate a label insert. The integrated dust protection flaps protect the connection from contamination when no module is installed. These flaps are also available in other colors, enabling individual customization. The surface is matte structured, providing a robust and uniform appearance.
Technology Explained Simply
The Keystone form factor is a standard in structured cabling, enabling modular and flexible installation. The 45° inclination of the insertion direction reduces mechanical stress on the cable connection, especially during frequent plugging and unplugging. The strain relief on the module ensures that pulling forces on the cable are not directly transferred to the contact pins, increasing the reliability of the connection. The viewing window allows for clear labeling of the connection, which is helpful for network management.
Compatibility and Accessories
The outlet unit is compatible with design central units from switch programs, ensuring optical uniformity in wall installations. As accessories, various mounting brackets are available, including T-slot mounting brackets in 50 mm and 55 mm versions, both with and without partition shells, as well as mounting brackets for rail mounting. Additionally, surface-mounted frames in 85 x 85 mm format (single) and cover plates in 80 x 80 mm format in pure white finish are available. These components enable flexible mounting and adaptation to different installation scenarios.
Installation and Mounting
The outlet is designed for flush installation and can be mounted into T-slot systems or onto support rails using the mentioned mounting brackets. Mounting is done horizontally, with the exact fastening technique depending on the used mounting bracket. The integrated dust protection flaps are pre-installed and seal the connection when no module is installed.
Operational Advantages
The modular design enables flexible expansion and maintenance of the installation. The integrated strain relief and the 45° insertion direction increase the lifespan of the connection. The labeling option via the viewing window simplifies identification and management of connections. Compatibility with design central units ensures uniform optical appearance, which is particularly important in professional environments. The pure white color and matte structured surface seamlessly integrate into existing switch programs.
