Description
A single coaxial socket in soft moss green, made to bring the aerial feed out at the wall and into the back of a television. The plate is screwless, so the front face reads as one clean square of colour with only the connector breaking it. It measures 88mm square, the standard footprint for a single plate, and the moulding is polycarbonate with a smooth, even finish rather than a painted-on coat that can chip at the edges.
We like a coloured plate where the wall itself is doing the talking: a sitting room in deep olive, a snug in a warm clay tone, a bedroom papered in something busy enough that a bright white square would jump out. This one handles the television point only, carrying the low voltage aerial signal rather than mains power, so it sits happily beside a power point or a data socket in the same run behind a media unit. It is an indoor fitting, intended for dry rooms in the house.
The body is moulded plastic in a single moss green through the plate and the connector surround, which keeps the look consistent from any angle. For care, a cloth lightly dampened with warm water is plenty; keep kitchen sprays, solvents and cream cleaners away from it, as they will take the sheen off the moulding long before anything else goes wrong. Dry it off afterwards so no marks are left in the finish. It carries a ten year warranty. We stock this pattern as a matched family of plates, so if you are running a wall of green you can keep the aerial socket, the socket and the light switch reading as one thing rather than three. On a painted wall, it is the sort of detail nobody notices, which is exactly the point.

Frequently Asked
What size is the plate?
It is a standard single plate, 88mm by 88mm, with a depth of 25mm behind the face.
Can I use this for broadband or a satellite feed?
No. It is a coaxial aerial socket for a television signal. For internet you want a data socket, and satellite needs its own F-type connector.
What is the plate made from?
Moulded polycarbonate in moss green, with a smooth finish rather than a sprayed coating.
Does it carry mains voltage?
No. It is a Class 3 low voltage fitting handling the aerial signal only.
How should I clean it?
Wipe with a slightly damp cloth and dry it. Avoid solvents, abrasive creams and kitchen degreasers, which dull the surface.
Is it suitable for a bathroom or outbuilding?
It is rated for indoor use in dry rooms only, so we would not put it in a bathroom or an unheated outbuilding.
