Description
A satellite feed needs somewhere tidy to arrive, and this is the plate we reach for when it should barely register on the wall. The face is screwless, so no fixing screws break up the front, just a flat warm grey plate with a single F-type satellite connector set into it. The moulding is a softened, warmed grey rather than a bright white, which sits far more quietly against painted plaster. At 88mm square it asks for no more wall than a plain single plate.
We would use one behind a television in a sitting room, in a bedroom where another set lives, or in a study where a dish feed lands alongside data. It suits anyone dressing a wall in matching plates rather than living with whatever came with the house, and it makes sense in a flat or a new build where the satellite run is being brought in fresh. Warm grey works well with greige, stone and clay wall colours, and with brushed metal door furniture.
The plate is moulded in polycarbonate, a hard-wearing plastic that shrugs off a knock rather than chipping the way a painted edge can, and the colour goes right through the material. It handles a low voltage signal only, and belongs in dry rooms indoors. Keeping it presentable is a matter of a dry cloth across the face now and then, with polishes and kitchen sprays kept well away from the connector itself. It carries a ten year warranty. Sat next to a television point of the same pattern, it keeps a media wall reading as one considered run rather than a scatter of odd plates.

Frequently Asked
What size is the plate?
It measures 88mm square, the standard footprint for a single plate, with a 25mm depth at the rear.
What does the connector take?
It is an F-type satellite connector, the screw-on fitting used for satellite coaxial cable.
Is it suitable for a bathroom?
No. It is rated IP20 and intended for dry indoor rooms only.
How do I keep it looking clean?
Wipe the face with a dry or barely damp cloth. Avoid solvents, cream cleaners and aerosol polishes, which can dull the moulded finish.
Will the warm grey match white plates already on the wall?
Not closely. Warm grey is a deliberately softer, greyer tone than white, so it looks best where all the plates on a wall share it.
Does it carry mains voltage?
No. It is a Class 3 low voltage fitting, carrying signal rather than power.
