Sockets and faceplates

Sockets and faceplates are essential and practical components of any installation. They come in various designs, colors, and properties, allowing us to choose a product tailored to the needs of every space and client. While sockets and faceplates may look similar, their purposes differ, as we explain below.

Faceplates

Keystone faceplates enable the connection of RJ45 keystones and patch cords at logical points and surface-mounted sockets. They are installed in the same frames as other electrical installation equipment, following the mosaic standard. Faceplates are available in various versions, for example, with an additional flip cover featuring a self-closing mechanism. This protects the socket from dust and dirt. Faceplates are also easy to install, often equipped with a special latch that only requires snapping into the socket. The dimensions of a single module are 22.5x45mm.

Electrical Sockets

Electrical sockets are a component of the so-called ELP (Electrical-Logical Point). Together with RJ45 keystones, they are installed in electrical installation channels, walls, or floor boxes. LAN networks are often connected near pre-installed electrical sockets. If we value aesthetics and uniformity in sockets and faceplates, securityNET offers both products. This is a practical solution for installers who can find all necessary installation components in one place. For a newly constructed building, it is important to ensure a careful finish. When purchasing faceplates, it is also worth choosing sockets to maintain interior aesthetics. Properly selected electrical sockets can enhance child safety with installed covers, and grounded sockets protect equipment in the event of a power surge.

Sockets with Locking Mechanism

DATA Sockets are a special type of socket that provide power along with an authorization key. They are most commonly used in installations dedicated exclusively to powering computers and IT devices. The authorization key prevents unauthorized devices that could cause a short circuit in the installation, potentially damaging other equipment, from being connected to the socket. Sockets with a locking mechanism are also an excellent solution for public spaces, where energy theft could occur, leading to increased electricity costs.

Mosaic System

A distinctive feature of all mosaic system products is the uniform frame dimension of 45x45mm. Over time, the mosaic 45 model has become a market standard and is now adopted by almost every manufacturer of electrical installation equipment. It allows the use of surface-mounted sockets, flush-mounted sockets, as well as floor and channel options. This does not limit the installer to a single socket type but offers a range of possibilities and solutions depending on the installation location. The mosaic system can be found in the form of both sockets and switches in most places.
