Does anyone know if there exists a ethernet rj45 wall mounted outlet which has the actual socket on one of the edges rather than coming out the front?
Maybe something about the thickness/shape of a domestic light switch. I can't really cut the wall get enough space to get the depth needed for a flush mounted faceplate - and the surface mounted box sticks out too far. thanks.
dave coughed up some electrons that declared:
Yes - there are downward pointing ones.
Let's see...
Top one here:
If you actually want one with the form factor of a single gang plate, then the best you'll get is a 45 degree downward outlet.
Cheers

Given the design of the actual socket itself I'd say a vertical outlet one would stick out from the wall just as far - although of course the plug wouldn't. I'd say you could mount a conventional flush one in a plaster depth box let just slightly more than normal into the wall.
just what's needed. Thanks.
