Single computer socket, Cat. 5e MMC - GOLD METALLIC IMPRESSION GPK-1Y/K/M/28

Computer socket with metallic finish, designed for precise installation and discreet aesthetics

This socket is not just a connection point—it’s an architectural element that doesn’t draw attention, yet when noticed, feels natural and intentional. The frame in metallic gold features a matte, brushed finish that eliminates glare and avoids the cheap plastic “gold” look of low-end accessories. This effect comes from a special lacquer coating—not a film laminate—meaning the color won’t fade or scratch with daily use.

The flush-mount installation follows standard practices, but here, “just like everywhere else” isn’t good enough. The clips and screw work in tandem: the clips snap the housing into the backbox, while the screw prevents lateral movement—ensuring the socket remains perfectly stable and silent when plugging in a cable. The internal IDC termination allows fast, tool-free wiring—simply insert the cable into its slot and press the latch. No stripping or insulation is needed—everything is done in one motion.

The IP20 protection rating means this is designed for indoor use—it doesn’t protect against water or dust, but neither is it needed. In homes, offices, or hotels, this level is sufficient. There’s no LED lighting—because it’s unnecessary. No cover flap—because it’s unnecessary. This socket performs identically to other Cat 5e models: it transmits data at 1 Gbps without loss under normal load. There’s no “boost”—it’s not an active device—but it delivers stability.

The square shape with a subtle convex contour isn’t just a design detail—it ensures the frame integrates seamlessly with the wall surface, appearing not as a “stuck-on plate,” but as a natural extension of the wall. It complements both white and dark walls: the metallic gold doesn’t stand out from the surroundings—it enhances. In industrial spaces, it adds warmth of metal tones; in classic interiors, it offers a subtle accent without excess.

Remember: this socket requires a compatible flush-mount backbox (e.g., PNP-1Y/28), but the housing itself is compatible with any standard Keystone Cat 5e module. You don’t need to buy an entire system—you can simply install the module you already own.
