OBO Bettermann Data & Telecommunication – Structured Cabling for Professional Installations
In commercial buildings, data centres and infrastructure projects, the backbone of connectivity lies in the structured cabling and outlet systems: network cables, telecommunication modules, distribution frames and communication sockets. OBO Bettermann’s portfolio for data & telecom (network cabling, telecom systems, structured cabling, communication outlets, data sockets) is engineered to support high-speed transmission, future-proof routing, modular flexibility and long-term procurement efficiency.
From a procurement and specifier standpoint: key parameters include cable class (Cat 6, Cat 6A, Cat 7), outlet module type (RJ45, data socket, multimedia insert), mounting system compatibility (face-plates, trunking, flush boxes), materials/finish, and certification (ISO/IEC 11801, EN 50173). Choosing OBO Bettermann data-&-telecom solutions helps reduce downtime, simplify infrastructure changes and streamline spare-parts management
OBO Bettermann Network Cabling & Telecom Systems
OBO Bettermann supports structured network installations with device installation trunking, modules, outlet frames and data-technology supports. For example, the universal data-technology support series provides 17 products with 51 variants for module-mounting in the Rapid 45-2 trunking system.
For surge- and data-line protection within telecom systems, OBO offers devices like the Data Protection RJ45–TELE 4-C for RJ11/RJ45 networks.
Procurement tip: specify cable class (e.g., Cat 6A), confirm outlet module format (e.g., double RJ45), ensure the trunking or flush-box system is compatible with OBO’s module family.
OBO Bettermann Structured Cabling & Communication Outlets
Within modern installations, the communication outlets and datapoint sockets are the visible end-point of the cabling infrastructure. OBO Bettermann offers outlet modules and sockets (e.g., dual RJ45 modules) that integrate with their installation systems. Example: dual RJ45 R&M outlet blocks from OBO showing modular build-out capability.
Procurement tip: select outlet modules with data-socket format consistent with site standard (e.g., 2×RJ45 Cat 6), lock part-numbers for spares, and ensure mounting frames and cover plates are from same family for uniformity.
OBO Bettermann Specification Checklist for Procurement Teams
Before placing a bulk order of OBO data-&-telecom products, ensure you have specified:
- Cable class / outlet class: e.g., Cat 6A, Class EA, RJ45 outlet, multimedia insert.
- Module format: number of ports (single/double), stack design, flush vs surface.
- Mounting system: trunking vs flush box; module compatibility with OBO installation family.
- Material & finish: face-plate colour, mounting frame finish, environmental specifications.
- Standards & certification: ISO/IEC 11801, EN 50173; structured cabling compliance.
- Future expansion & spares: lock part-numbers, standardise across outlets for spare-stock simplicity.
Failing to lock any of these items can lead to mismatched modules, installation delays or maintenance cost inflation.
OBO Bettermann Practical Application Scenarios & Cost Metrics
- In a floor of an office building, specifying OBO network-cabling modules to Cat 6A instead of Cat 6 gives 10-year growth margin and avoids re-cabling in the near future
- In a multi-tenant data centre environment, using OBO structured-cabling outlet modules with data sockets standardised across racks reduces insertion-time, simplifies maintenance and reduces downtime risk.
- In a modern workspace fit-out with high-density communication ports, choosing OBO dual-RJ45 outlet modules and trunking system allows fewer module variants, fewer stock SKUs, and faster commissioning.
Why Standardising on OBO Bettermann Data & Telecommunication Matters
When you standardise your data- and telecom-infrastructure on one brand — OBO Bettermann — you benefit from:
- Fewer part-numbers and simpler spares-inventory across communication outlets.
- Consistent mechanical interface, module format and installation method, reducing installer training and error-rate.
- Unified documentation, drawing-sets, BOMs and upgrade workflows.
- Better procurement leverage through volume orders and fewer suppliers.
Large installations often involve hundreds or thousands of datapoints; brand standardisation reduces logistic, maintenance and installation complexity.
