A combination faceplate provides a centralized connection point for both data and voice communication cabling within a building’s interior. Typically mounted flush against a wall, this component allows for the organized termination of Ethernet and telephone lines, facilitating easy access for connecting devices such as computers, phones, and network equipment. A common example features an RJ45 port for Ethernet connectivity alongside an RJ11 port for telephone lines.
The use of combined data and voice connection outlets offers several advantages. It streamlines cable management by consolidating connection points, contributing to a tidier and more organized workspace. This integration can also reduce installation costs and time, as a single installation process serves both networking and telephony needs. Historically, these solutions evolved from separate voice and data outlets to meet the growing demands of integrated communication systems.
