Description
A single data outlet on a flat screwless plate, finished in copper. The RJ45 module accepts a Cat 5 or Cat 6 patch lead, so a computer, a smart television or a games console can sit on a wired connection rather than competing for wi-fi. The cover clips over its frame, leaving an unbroken face with no visible screw heads, and the copper has a warm, slightly pink cast that reads softer in a room than chrome or brushed steel.
We would fit this at a desk in a study or home office, behind a television where a streaming box needs a steady feed, or at the spot where the router lands so the rest of the house can be run from it. It carries low voltage data only, never mains, so a power point is still wanted nearby for the equipment itself. It is one we point people towards when they want the network run inside the wall instead of trailing along a skirting board, and it suits anyone tidying up a home office that has grown by accident.
The plate is moulded ABS with the copper finish worked over it, which keeps it light on the wall and easy to keep looking sharp. Dust it with a dry cloth when you go round the room; if fingerprints show, a barely damp cloth is enough, and nothing stronger, as solvents and cream cleaners will take the shine off. Keep it to indoor rooms and dry conditions, away from splashes and steam. It carries a ten year warranty. On styling, the plain square face keeps a wall quiet where a busier plate would draw the eye, and copper holds its own against warm neutrals, deep greens and bare timber, which is why we tend to reach for it in older houses.

Frequently Asked
What size is the plate?
The plate measures 88mm square, and it sits with a back box depth of 35mm.
Will it work with Cat 6 cable?
Yes. The outlet is made for Cat 5 and Cat 6 data cabling, so it is suitable for home networking at typical domestic speeds.
Can I plug an appliance into it?
No. This is a data outlet on a low voltage circuit only. Anything mains powered needs a separate power point.
What is the plate made from?
ABS with a copper finish, which keeps the weight down at around 0.065kg.
How should I clean the copper finish?
A dry cloth for dust, and a barely damp cloth for marks. Avoid solvents, abrasives and cream cleaners, all of which will dull the surface.
Is there a warranty?
It carries a ten year warranty.
