Double Faceplate — 86x86mm, Two Keystone Ports (Unbranded)

This unbranded Double Faceplate is a UK-style wall plate accepting two keystone jacks, built to the industry-standard 86mm x 86mm footprint used across residential, commercial, and data cabling installations. It’s constructed from fire-retardant ABS plastic, commonly rated to UL94V-0, with a polycarbonate identification plate for port labeling. The plate accepts Cat3, Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6A keystone jacks interchangeably, along with other compatible modules such as BNC, F-connector, or fiber ST couplers depending on the keystone inserted, giving installers flexibility to mix data, voice, or coax connections on the same outlet. As this is a generic, unbranded product rather than a manufacturer-specific SKU, exact electrical and safety certifications vary by supplier batch; buyers requiring formally verified compliance documentation (ETL, CUL, or similar third-party testing) should confirm certification directly with the specific supplier before specifying it for a certified structured cabling project.

Construction and Materials

The faceplate body is molded from ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), a durable, impact-resistant plastic commonly used across faceplate manufacturing due to its balance of rigidity, surface finish, and cost. Generic double faceplates in this category are typically rated to UL94V-0 or UL94V-2 flame resistance, meaning the material is designed to resist sustained combustion and self-extinguish within a defined time after a flame source is removed — a baseline safety expectation for wall-mounted electrical and data fittings, though the exact rating should be confirmed against the specific unit’s markings or supplier documentation.

Most double faceplates in this class include an integrated dust shutter over each port opening, which closes automatically when a jack isn’t inserted, keeping dust and debris out of unused keystone slots. A slide-in label holder is typically included on the plate face, allowing installers to mark each port’s function (e.g., “Data,” “Voice,” “TV”) for clear identification during maintenance or troubleshooting.

Compatibility

The faceplate is designed around the standard keystone jack form factor, meaning it accepts any keystone module that snaps into the standard cutout — regardless of manufacturer — rather than being limited to a single brand’s jacks. Commonly supported keystone types include:

• RJ45 Cat3 / Cat5e / Cat6 / Cat6A keystone jacks, shielded or unshielded, for Ethernet data cabling
• RJ11/RJ12 keystone jacks, for telephone and voice line connections
• Coaxial keystone modules (F-type, BNC), where video or CCTV cabling is being terminated
• Fiber keystone couplers (ST, SC), for fiber patching at the wall outlet, subject to the specific jack’s dimensions matching the keystone cutout

This flexibility makes the plate suitable for mixed-service outlets, where one port might carry data and the other carries voice or coax, without needing a separate plate for each service type.

Installation Characteristics

The double faceplate mounts to a standard single-gang wall box or surface-mount back box using the common 60mm screw hole spacing found on most UK-style keystone mounting boxes. Keystone jacks are inserted using a back-loading or front-loading method depending on the specific jack design, then snapped into place within the plate’s two cutouts. No specialist tools are required for the faceplate itself beyond standard mounting screws, which are typically included. Installation is straightforward: mount the back box, terminate and snap in the keystone jacks, then screw the faceplate over the box.

Supported Applications

• Home and office network outlets, terminating Ethernet or telephone cabling at the wall
• Mixed data/voice wall points, combining an Ethernet keystone and a phone keystone on one plate
• CCTV and coax terminations, using coax-compatible keystone inserts for camera or TV feeds
• Small-scale structured cabling projects, where a cost-effective, brand-agnostic faceplate is preferred over a manufacturer-specific system

Who This Faceplate Is Best Suited For

• Home network installers and DIY users setting up a simple two-port Ethernet or Ethernet-plus-phone outlet at a reasonable cost, without needing a branded cabling system
• Small businesses and shops in Nairobi wiring desks, reception counters, or back-office points with two data or mixed data/voice connections
• Independent cabling technicians and contractors working on budget-conscious residential or small commercial jobs where a generic, keystone-compatible faceplate fits the project’s cost target
• Renovation and retrofit projects where an existing wall box needs a straightforward two-port outlet without matching a specific branded product line
• IT support staff doing minor office moves or additions, adding an extra double data point to a room without sourcing a full branded structured cabling kit
