Give every network port a clean, professional finish. The Nexus RJ45 CAT6A Keystone Faceplate mounts directly onto any standard UK/EU Type 86 single-gang back box with a snap-fit click — mounting screws included in the box so you have everything you need to complete the install. Available in 1-port and 2-port configurations and in White or Silver/Aluminium-effect finishes, it suits both residential and commercial installs without looking like an afterthought.
The fascia accepts any standard shielded or unshielded keystone jack — CAT5 through CAT8 — so it works with your existing infrastructure today and won't need replacing when you upgrade. Built from flame-retardant PC/ABS to UL94-V0, ISO 9001 certified, RoHS and CE compliant, and finished with a recessed Nexus logo for a branded, premium look.

Why screwless snap-fit matters on a faceplate
The Nexus faceplate clips directly onto the back box frame for a snap-fit finish, and mounting screws are included for installers who prefer a fixed, screw-secured fit — giving you both options in one pack. Whether you snap it on or screw it down, the result is a flush, seamless face that looks built-in from day one and can be removed cleanly for any future cabling changes.
The low-profile fascia sits tight to the wall, eliminating the gap and flex common in cheaper moulded faceplates — important for installations where the outlet is touched or plugged into daily.

Frequently asked questions
Are the keystone jacks included?
No — this listing is for the faceplate fascia only. Keystone jacks are available separately in our store. This allows you to choose the exact category and shielding type (UTP or STP/FTP) to match your cabling.
Does this fit a standard UK back box?
Yes. The faceplate is designed for the Type 86 single-gang back box standard (86 × 86 mm) — the most common UK and EU electrical back box format. It also fits standard DIN mounting frames used in commercial installations.
Do I need any tools to fit the faceplate?
The faceplate can be snapped onto the back box frame without tools, or secured with the included mounting screws if you prefer a fixed fit — a screwdriver is all you need in that case. Terminating and inserting the keystone jack may require a punch-down tool depending on the jack type; some tool-less jacks need nothing at all.
Which colour should I choose — White or Silver?
White suits residential interiors and blends with standard painted walls and white electrical fittings. Silver/Aluminium-effect suits modern commercial fit-outs, boardrooms, hospitality spaces, and anywhere that uses brushed metal switches and sockets for a consistent aesthetic.
Can I use a shielded (STP/FTP) keystone in this faceplate?
Yes. The faceplate accepts both shielded (STP/FTP) and unshielded (UTP) keystone jacks. If you are running a shielded installation end-to-end, ensure the keystone jack and back box are also correctly earthed for the shield to provide its full benefit.
