Description
A single F-type satellite connection sits behind a flat screwless plate, so the front face reads as a clean square of platinum silver with nothing to break it up. The plate is 88mm square, compact enough to sit quietly behind a television or beside a media unit. The threaded connector accepts the coaxial lead from a dish feed and grips it once the collar is turned home.
We fit these where a television hangs on the wall and the wall wants to stay calm: media walls, bedrooms with a receiver tucked out of sight, snugs and home offices. It carries a satellite feed rather than a terrestrial signal, so it suits homes with a dish, and it works just as well at the far end of a run into another room. Where several services land in the same spot, we would keep this plate to satellite alone and give the aerial socket a plate of its own.
The plate is moulded in polycarbonate, finished in a platinum silver that reads cooler than brass and softer than polished chrome, with a low sheen that hides fingerprints better than a mirrored face. It is a low voltage signal fitting for dry indoor rooms, so we would keep it out of bathrooms and clear of the splash zone behind a kitchen tap. Upkeep is minimal: a dry microfibre cloth across the face lifts dust, and a barely damp cloth deals with anything greasier, while solvents, wipes and cream cleaners are best kept away from the finish. It carries a ten year warranty. Screwless plates look their best when they are the only thing interrupting a plain wall, so we tend to use them across a whole room rather than in isolation.

Frequently Asked
What size is the plate?
It is a standard single plate, 88mm by 88mm on the face, with a depth of 25mm.
Is this for a satellite dish or a television aerial?
It takes a threaded F-type connector, which is the satellite standard. For a terrestrial signal you want a television point with a coaxial aerial socket instead.
What is the plate made from?
Moulded polycarbonate in a platinum silver finish, which keeps the weight down to a little over 60 grams.
Can I use it in a bathroom or outdoors?
No. It is rated for dry indoor rooms only and should be kept away from damp and splashes.
How do I keep the silver finish looking right?
Dust it with a dry soft cloth and use only a slightly damp cloth for marks. Cream cleaners, solvents and abrasive pads will dull the surface.
Is there a warranty?
Yes, it carries a ten year warranty.
