{"product_id":"1-gang-satellite-outlet-charcoal","title":"1 Gang F-Type Satellite Socket - Charcoal","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eA single F-type connector sits behind a flat charcoal plate, giving a neat face where the satellite feed comes into the room. The screwless front carries no screw heads at all, so the eye reads the plate as a clean square with the threaded connector at its centre. At 88mm square it keeps to the usual proportions of a domestic plate, and the charcoal is a deep grey with warmth in it, softer on a painted wall than chrome or polished steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the point you want behind a television or in a media recess, taking the low voltage feed down from a dish rather than any mains power. It suits a lounge where the screen is wall hung, a bedroom with another set, or a study where a receiver lives on a shelf. We would choose it in a room already fitted with dark plates, where a white satellite socket would jump out of the wall. It is for dry rooms indoors, on data and signal circuits only, and never anywhere it might be splashed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plate is moulded in polycarbonate, which takes the charcoal colour evenly and does not show the fine scuffing that painted metal picks up around a well used point. Cleaning asks very little: a wipe with a barely damp cloth, then dry, and keep polishes and solvents away from the moulding as they can leave it patchy. If the connector gathers dust while a lead is out, a quick puff of air clears it. It carries a ten year warranty. Screwless plates give you fewer lines to look at, which matters most where the socket sits at eye level beside the screen, and the charcoal reads as a quiet dark grey rather than a flat black.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCharcoal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType of Finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.07KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e88mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e88mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBack Box Depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterials Used\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolycarbonate, Metal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProtection Class\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClass 3 - Low Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP20\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10yrs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUKCA\/CE\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAdditional Certification\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBS EN 60669\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNumber of Gangs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePieces Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInstallation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRequires Installation By Qualified Electrician. 25mm Box Depth Is Recommended.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIndoor Use Only.
