Description
Deep blue plates make a change from the usual white, and this one carries a coaxial connector for an aerial or satellite feed behind a screwless front. The plate is one gang and square at 88mm, with clean edges and no visible fixings across the face. The midnight blue runs evenly over the moulding, and the connector sits central so a lead drops away without twisting or fouling the edge of the plate.
It suits a sitting room television point, a bedroom, or a study where an aerial run finishes near the desk. We choose it for rooms painted in deeper colours, where a white plate tends to jump forward off the wall and catch the eye every time you walk past. Where several plates sit together along one stretch of wall, the flat screwless face keeps that line quiet. It is intended for low voltage aerial and data circuits, and for dry rooms indoors, well away from splashes and steam.
The body is moulded in polycarbonate with the coaxial connector set into the front. A dry duster once a week keeps the colour looking right; when fingermarks build up around the connector, a cloth wrung out in warm water will lift them, and the plate can then be dried off. Bleaches, kitchen sprays and anything gritty will dull a coloured finish, so keep those for other jobs. It carries a ten year warranty. We reach for this one in rooms decorated in navy, teal or charcoal, where standard white hardware sits awkwardly against the paint, and it works just as well against dark timber panelling or a papered chimney breast. Small piece of hardware, but a dark plate does more for a finished room than most people expect.

Frequently Asked
What does this socket connect?
It takes a coaxial lead from an aerial or satellite feed, giving you a tidy television point at the wall rather than a cable trailing across the skirting board.
How big is the plate?
The plate is 88mm square, so it sits within the footprint of a standard single plate and lines up with other one gang hardware.
What is the plate made from?
It is moulded in polycarbonate in a midnight blue finish, with a screwless front so there are no fixing heads on show.
Can I use it in a bathroom?
No. It is rated IP20, which makes it suitable for dry indoor rooms only, and it should be kept clear of splashes, steam and condensation.
How should I keep it clean?
Dust it with a dry cloth. For marks, use a cloth wrung out in warm water and dry the plate afterwards; avoid solvents, bleach and abrasive creams, which will dull the colour.
Is there a warranty?
Yes, the product carries a ten year warranty from the manufacturer.
