1 Gang Telephone Socket - Champagne Gold

A telephone point in champagne gold on a flat screwless plate, with nothing breaking up the face. The plate is 88mm square, so it keeps to the footprint of a standard square plate and lines up with the switches and power points around it. A single jack takes the incoming line and passes it on to a handset or a router, and the gold tone reads as a warm brushed metal rather than a bright yellow. We stock it because it lets a low voltage point carry the same finish as everything else on the wall, instead of the usual white plastic.

It suits a hallway, a study or a bedside spot where the line arrives and a handset or router needs somewhere sensible to live. We would choose it on a job where the rest of the plates have already been settled in a warm metal, because a lone white socket is exactly the thing the eye lands on. It is a quiet fitting: one jack, one job, and no clutter around it. Flats, new builds and older rooms all take it well.

The plate is moulded in polycarbonate with the champagne gold finish applied over it, which keeps the whole thing light in the hand. Keep it looking as it should with a dry cloth, or barely damp if there are marks; cream cleaners, solvents and abrasive pads will cut into a plated finish faster than you would think. It is for indoor rooms and low voltage data circuits only. It carries a ten year warranty. If you are working through a room, we would keep the telephone point, the switches and the power points all in the same champagne gold so the wall reads as one piece rather than a patchwork.

What is the plate made of?

The plate is moulded polycarbonate with a champagne gold finish over it. It weighs 0.065kg, so it is far lighter than a solid metal plate of the same size.

How big is the plate?

It is 88mm by 88mm, the usual square single plate size, so it sits in line with other single plates on the same wall.

What is it for?

A single telephone or data circuit: the incoming line terminates here and connects on to a handset or a router. It is a low voltage point, not a power point.

Can I use it in a bathroom or outside?

No. It is rated IP20 and intended for dry indoor rooms only.

How should I clean it?

A dry cloth for dust, or a slightly damp one for fingermarks, then dry it off. Avoid cream cleaners, solvents and scouring pads, as they will dull or scratch the gold finish.

Does it come with a warranty?

Yes, it carries a ten year warranty.
