Description
A wired data point for the home, finished in cool grey, with a screwless plate that clips over its base to leave a flat, unbroken face. It takes a single data connection and terminates Cat 5 and Cat 6 cable, so a computer, games console or wireless access point can be patched in with a short lead instead of cable trailing across the floor. The moulded front sits close to the wall and stays low in profile, and it runs on a low voltage data circuit rather than mains. We stock it in cool grey for walls where a bright white plate would jump out.
Study and home office walls are the obvious home for it, though it is one we reach for behind a television or media unit too, where a wired link holds up better than wireless for streaming and video calls. It suits anyone pulling cable through the house during redecoration, or anyone who wants one neat termination in a bedroom that doubles as a desk. It is for dry rooms indoors, on data circuits only, and it sits quietly alongside your existing wall plates rather than drawing attention away from them.
The plate and its trim are moulded in polycarbonate, a hard-wearing plastic that keeps a clean edge and does not need polishing. For cleaning, wipe the face with a barely damp cloth and dry it straight away; solvents, abrasive creams and kitchen sprays will dull the moulding, so keep them well clear. It carries a ten year warranty. Grey plates look best grouped, so we would keep switches, television points and data sockets in the same finish along a single wall and let the run read as one line rather than a scatter of shapes. Patch leads are not included.
