Can two or more sockets share one incoming Ethernet cable?

No. Give each socket its own cable run. Splitting one Ethernet cable between several outlets is not the normal way to install this and usually causes more problems than it solves.

Can the installation cable leave the module in different directions? Does every port need its own run back to the patch panel or switch? Is the 7.41mm rear-cover opening the maximum cable diameter? Can I terminate shielded Ethernet cable onto this module?
