TBC B10T01U 1 Gang Data Socket (RJ45) – CAT5 / CAT6 B-SERIES

The TBC B10T01U Series 1 Gang Data Socket (RJ45) is part of TBC's B8-Series modular wiring accessories range, engineered to provide reliable and high-speed network connectivity across a wide range of indoor installations. Designed to accommodate both CAT5 and CAT6 network cabling standards, this data socket ensures consistent signal integrity for modern structured cabling systems.

Constructed with a durable polycarbonate faceplate and base, and featuring gold-plated phosphor bronze contact pins, the B8 Series RJ45 socket delivers long-term connection reliability with minimal signal degradation. Its clean white finish and standard 86 × 86 mm form factor make it a versatile choice for architects, electrical contractors, and systems integrators.

Suitable for both surface and flush mounting configurations, the B8 Series Data Socket is the preferred solution for residential home networks, corporate LAN infrastructure, and professional structured cabling deployments.

Key Features

  • RJ45 standard data interface compatible with CAT5 and CAT6 network cabling systems for broad installation flexibility.
  • Gold-plated phosphor bronze contact pins ensure low contact resistance and reliable, long-lasting signal transmission.
  • Durable polycarbonate (PC) faceplate and base provide excellent mechanical strength and resistance to everyday wear.
  • Clean, modern white finish integrates seamlessly with contemporary residential and commercial interior designs.
  • Supports both surface and flush mounting configurations to suit a variety of wall and conduit installation methods.
  • IP20 protection rating confirms suitability for standard indoor environments, safeguarding internal contacts from dust ingress.
  • Compact 86 × 86 mm form factor is compatible with standard wall back boxes and modular wiring accessory systems.
  • Stable signal transmission performance minimises data loss and interference across supported network categories.

The TBC B8 Series 1 Gang Data Socket (RJ45) is purpose-built for structured cabling environments where consistent network performance and installation reliability are essential. The socket's RJ45 interface is fully compatible with CAT5 and CAT6 patch cables and horizontal cabling, making it suitable for both legacy network upgrades and new-build data infrastructure projects.

The faceplate and base are manufactured from high-grade polycarbonate, a thermoplastic material recognised for its impact resistance, dimensional stability, and long service life under normal indoor operating conditions. The contact pins are fabricated from phosphor bronze with a gold plating finish, a combination that delivers superior conductivity, corrosion resistance, and mechanical durability through repeated plug-and-unplug cycles.

With an operating temperature range of -5°C to +40°C and a humidity tolerance of up to 95%, the B8 Series Data Socket is well-suited to the full spectrum of indoor commercial and residential environments. Its straightforward installation design reduces on-site labour time, making it a cost-effective choice for large-scale structured cabling projects.

The B8 Series RJ45 Data Socket employs an 8P8C (8 Position 8 Contact) modular connector interface, the industry-standard configuration for Ethernet network terminations. The gold-plated phosphor bronze contact pins are precision-formed to maintain consistent contact force and electrical continuity across the rated service life of the socket. The polycarbonate housing provides a stable mechanical platform that resists deformation under normal installation torque and environmental thermal cycling.

The socket is rated to IP20, indicating protection against solid objects greater than 12.5 mm in diameter, appropriate for standard indoor wall-mounted applications. Both surface and flush mounting options are supported, with the 86 × 86 mm faceplate dimensioned for compatibility with widely available standard back boxes used in residential and commercial wiring accessory systems.

  • Home networking systems requiring reliable Ethernet connectivity for routers, smart devices, and media equipment.
  • Office LAN infrastructure where structured cabling terminations are required at workstation and desk locations.
  • Structured cabling installations in commercial buildings following standard horizontal cabling layouts.
  • Data and communication rooms requiring neat, organised patch panel and outlet termination points.
  • Educational facilities including classrooms and libraries where fixed network access points are required.
  • Hospitality environments such as hotels and conference centres requiring in-room or in-suite wired network access.
  • Healthcare facilities where stable, interference-free wired network connections are preferred over wireless solutions.
