Description
The satellite feed arrives on a flat, screwless front plate finished in a dark carbon fibre texture, fine and dry under the fingers rather than glossy. A single F-type connector sits at the centre for the coaxial lead from a dish, and there is nothing else on the face: no visible screws, no bright trim, just the weave of the finish and the threaded collar in the middle. It takes up the footprint of a standard square plate, so it reads as part of the wall rather than an addition to it.
This is the satellite connection for a media wall, a snug or a bedroom with a screen mounted up high, and the dark plate earns its keep against charcoal paint, deep panelling or a black-framed unit where a pale accessory would jump out. We reach for it in rooms decorated darkly from the outset, where every plate and switch has been picked to sit quietly back. It handles the satellite lead alone, so it is worth thinking through what else the wall behind a screen needs to bring in.
The plate is moulded polycarbonate with metal where the signal is carried, and it works on the low voltage signal side of the wall rather than the power side. It belongs in dry indoor rooms; a shower room or an unheated garage is the wrong home for it. For cleaning, a dry cloth drawn lightly across the texture is all it asks, with sprays, wipes and kitchen degreasers kept well away, as they dull a textured face faster than anything else. It carries a ten year warranty. The carbon fibre look sits happily with black metal and dark timber, and the screwless front means the wall gets the attention, not the fitting.

Frequently Asked
How big is the plate?
It is square, 88mm by 88mm, and very light at around 65g, so it stays visually quiet on a dark wall.
What does the F-type connector take?
It accepts the screw-on coaxial lead used for satellite feeds from a dish, connecting on the signal side only.
What is it made from?
A moulded polycarbonate plate with metal parts carrying the signal, finished in a textured carbon fibre effect.
How should the textured finish be cleaned?
Dust it with a dry cloth. Avoid solvents, polishes and household sprays, which leave a textured surface looking patchy.
Can it go in a bathroom or an outdoor space?
No. It is for indoor, dry rooms and data circuits, so keep it out of wet areas and exposed positions.
What certification and warranty does it hold?
It is UKCA and CE marked to BS EN 60669 and carries a ten year warranty.
