Description
A single F-type satellite connection sits at the centre of a flat screwless plate, finished in brushed steel. The face is unbroken by visible fixings, so the fine brushed grain runs clear across the front, and the plate is 88mm square, which keeps it in line with the switches and sockets already on the wall. The threaded connector accepts the coaxial lead from a satellite dish and carries it on to a receiver or a television tuner, working on a low voltage data circuit rather than mains power.
This is the outlet to use where a dish feed needs to arrive neatly rather than trailing through a hole in the skirting board. It suits a living room wall behind the television, a bedroom where a second receiver is planned, or a study fitted out with data and aerial points in a row. We would pair it with matching brushed steel power points and television points on the same wall so the whole run reads as one set, and we reach for the screwless version where the wall is in plain view and a fussier plate would draw the eye.
The plate is steel over a moulded ABS body, with the brushed sheen giving a soft, low-glare surface that hides fingerprints better than a polished one. It carries a ten year warranty. For upkeep, a dry microfibre cloth drawn along the direction of the brushing is all the face needs; keep sprays, cream cleaners and anything gritty away from it, as these dull the grain and can mark the connector. It is intended for dry rooms indoors and for signal work only, so nothing on this plate should be treated as a power point. Brushed steel is the easiest of the metal finishes to live with in a modern room, holding its own against grey and oak without competing with them.

Frequently Asked
What size is the plate?
It is 88mm high by 88mm wide, with a depth of 25mm behind the face.
What does this outlet actually connect?
It provides an F-type screw connection for the coaxial cable from a satellite dish, feeding a satellite receiver or a television with a built-in satellite tuner.
Can I use it for a normal TV aerial instead?
F-type is the satellite standard. A standard rooftop aerial uses a coaxial plug of a different pattern, so an aerial outlet is the right choice for that.
Why is it called screwless?
The outer plate has no visible screw heads on the face, giving a clean flat front. The brushed steel grain runs uninterrupted across it.
How should I clean it?
Wipe it with a dry or barely damp microfibre cloth, following the line of the brushing. Avoid abrasive creams, solvents and spray polishes, which flatten the finish.
Is it suitable for a bathroom or an outbuilding?
No. It is rated for dry indoor rooms only, so keep it away from wet areas and unheated, damp spaces.
