APKR Faceplate | 1 Port | Keystone Jack Compatible | Wall Data Point | Jacks Sold Separately
A tidy single LAN outlet for classrooms, hostels and home offices that need one cable run finished cleanly.
Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
The APKR Faceplate 1 Port is a single-opening wall plate for snap-in keystone jacks, available at Mascom International for KSh 200 and brand new and sealed. It finishes one network cable at the wall, turning a loose Cat6 or Cat5e run into a neat socket that a patch lead plugs straight into. The APKR Faceplate ships without a jack, so pair it with the APKR Cat6 Keystone Jack, which we stock at KSh 150, for a complete outlet. You can collect it from our shop at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, in Nairobi CBD.
Built for IT technicians, school bursars, hostel managers and small-business owners across Kenya, the APKR Faceplate 1 Port suits any spot that needs exactly one wired connection. Think of a reception desk in Upper Hill, a CCTV recorder in a Kilimani apartment, or a lecturer's podium at a Kenyatta University hall. Without a plate, cables hang from the wall, get kinked by cleaners and pull loose from routers. A fixed socket keeps the run protected, labelled and easy to trace. When Safaricom Home Fibre or Zuku installers leave the router in one room, a single outlet at the end of a cable run brings the connection into another.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell faceplates loose in a bin with no advice, Mascom International explains what else your point needs before you pay. A full surface point is a patress back box, a faceplate and a keystone jack, and we can confirm which parts suit your wall. Customers across Nairobi tell us the APKR Faceplate makes a finished job look professional for a couple of hundred shillings. Visit our Kimathi Street shop to see it in hand, or order the APKR Faceplate on WhatsApp and pay when it reaches you anywhere in Kenya.
Common Questions About the APKR Faceplate
How much is the APKR Faceplate 1 Port in Kenya?
The APKR Faceplate 1 Port costs KSh 200, brand new, at Mascom International on Kimathi Street in Nairobi CBD. That price covers the plate and our 6-month warranty. The keystone jack is sold separately; adding the APKR Cat6 Keystone Jack at KSh 150 brings one working outlet to KSh 350 before any back box. If the spot needs two connections, the 2 Port version costs KSh 250, only KSh 50 more. Delivery is pay-on-arrival, so you hand over cash or M-Pesa only once the parcel is in your hands.
Should I buy the APKR Faceplate 1 Port or the 2 Port version?
Choose the APKR Faceplate 1 Port when only one cable reaches that spot, and the 2 Port when two cables do. The single plate costs KSh 200 against KSh 250 for the twin, and it needs one keystone jack instead of two, so a finished outlet costs KSh 150 less in jacks. The 2 Port suits desks running a computer and an IP phone together. If a second line is likely within a year, fitting the twin plate now avoids replacing the faceplate later.
Does the APKR Faceplate 1 Port work with Safaricom, Zuku and Airtel home internet?
Yes, the APKR Faceplate 1 Port works with any wired Ethernet connection, including routers from Safaricom Home Fibre, Zuku, Faiba and Airtel Kenya. The plate carries no signal itself; the keystone jack and cable do that work, and the plate holds them firmly at the wall. Run a cable from a LAN port on the router to the jack behind the plate, then plug your computer or TV into the front. Concrete walls in Nairobi flats often weaken Wi-Fi, so a wired point fixes dead rooms.
Who should buy the APKR Faceplate 1 Port, and who should skip it?
Buy the APKR Faceplate 1 Port if you are ending a single cable at a wall: a printer, a Wi-Fi access point, a TV or one workstation. Electricians, school ICT teachers and landlords wiring hostels buy it in numbers. Skip it if your room needs two connections at one spot, because the 2 Port version handles that for KSh 50 more. Skip it too if you rely only on Wi-Fi and no cable runs to that wall, since a plate cannot help there.
Can I install the APKR Faceplate 1 Port myself?
Yes, anyone comfortable with a screwdriver and a punch-down tool can fit the APKR Faceplate 1 Port without hiring an electrician. Terminate the cable on the keystone jack, following the colour code printed on the jack. Snap the jack into the opening from behind until it clicks, then screw the plate onto the back box. Test the link with a cable tester or by plugging in a laptop. If the network light stays off, send us a photo on WhatsApp and we will help you check the wiring.
Is the APKR Faceplate 1 Port good for a home office in Kenya?
The APKR Faceplate 1 Port is a sound choice for a home office that needs one stable wired link. Remote workers, accountants filing on KRA iTax and consultants on long Zoom calls gain a connection that does not drop when a neighbour's Wi-Fi crowds the airwaves. Place the plate behind the desk, run the cable back to the router, and keep a short patch lead between the wall and the laptop. The result looks deliberate rather than improvised, which matters when clients see your background on camera.
What size is the APKR Faceplate 1 Port, and will it fit my wall box?
The APKR Faceplate 1 Port follows the standard square UK-style size used across Kenya for sockets and data points. That means it should line up with the recessed boxes found in most Kenyan buildings and with surface patress boxes made for the same format. Exact dimensions are not printed on our stock sheet, so confirm against your box on WhatsApp before you order. Send a photo or a tape measurement of your box and we will tell you whether it matches.
Can I use the APKR Faceplate 1 Port for CCTV cameras?
Yes, the APKR Faceplate 1 Port gives an IP camera or a network video recorder a fixed, tidy connection point. Fit it near the recorder cabinet or high on a wall close to a camera, then use a short patch lead for the final link. Cameras powered over the network cable work through it, because the plate simply holds the jack and does not interrupt the cable. Estates and shops across Nairobi often prefer this to leaving cables coiled loosely beside the recorder.
Technical Specifications
Core Function
- One keystone opening — ends a single network cable at the wall as a clean socket that a patch lead plugs into.
- Takes snap-in keystone jacks — the jack clips in from behind, so a faulty jack can be swapped without a new plate.
- Front-facing outlet — the patch lead plugs straight in, leaving no loose cable hanging down the wall.
- Built for data, not mains power — meant for Ethernet and other low-voltage keystone modules rather than electrical sockets.
- Signal-neutral design — the plate sets no speed limit; your cable and jack decide whether you get Cat5e or Cat6 performance.
Compatibility
- Keystone format — accepts standard keystone jacks, including the APKR Cat6 Keystone Jack that Mascom International sells at KSh 150.
- Square UK-style format — the plate style used for sockets and data points across Kenya; confirm against your box on WhatsApp.
- Back box mounting — screws onto a recessed wall box, or onto a surface patress box where the wall has none.
- Cable categories — handles Cat5e and Cat6 runs, depending on which keystone jack you choose for the opening.
- Any router or switch — the outlet connects to home routers, office switches and network video recorders through a standard patch lead.
Build
- Flat face — sits flat against the back box for a neat finish on painted, tiled or plastered walls.
- Fixing holes — screw holes line up with standard back boxes; check yours against the plate on WhatsApp if unsure.
- Rigid front — holds the jack firmly, so daily plugging and unplugging does not loosen it in the opening.
- Colour — our stock sheet does not list one, so ask on WhatsApp which finish is on the shelf today.
- Brand new stock — sealed units, never salvaged from old installations or returned jobs.
Installation
- Tools needed — a screwdriver for the plate, plus a punch-down tool for terminating cable on the keystone jack.
- Order of work — punch down the cable, snap the jack into the plate, then screw the plate onto the box.
- Wiring standard — follow T568A or T568B colour coding on the jack, matching whatever the patch panel uses at the other end.
- Testing — confirm the link with a cable tester, or plug in a laptop and watch for the network light.
- Labelling — mark each plate with its patch panel number, so later faults can be traced in minutes rather than hours.
Typical Uses
- Single workstation — one desktop or laptop dock at a desk that needs a steady wired link all day.
- Network printer — gives a shared office printer its own fixed connection away from the router cupboard.
- Wi-Fi access point — a high-wall or ceiling point feeding an access point that covers a corridor or hall.
- IP camera or recorder — a fixed point for a CCTV recorder, or for a camera powered over the network cable.
- Lounge TV or streaming box — a wired link so films and football stream without Wi-Fi dropouts.
Inclusions
- One APKR Faceplate 1 Port — the plate itself, brand new and sealed.
- Keystone jack not included — buy one separately; the APKR Cat6 Keystone Jack costs KSh 150 at Mascom International.
- Back box not included — use the recessed box already in your wall, or add a surface patress box.
- Fixing screws — ask on WhatsApp whether screws come with the plate in the current batch.
- 6-month warranty — covers manufacturing defects, with claims handled at our Nairobi CBD service desk.
