Description
A single coaxial socket on a screwless plate, finished in plum. There are no fixing screws on the face, so the plate reads as a clean square of colour on the wall with the aerial connector set centrally. It measures 88mm square, matching the plate footprint used across the switches and sockets in the rest of a room. We stock it for anyone who has chosen coloured plates through a house and would rather the television point did not break the run with white plastic.
This is the tidy end of an aerial or satellite downlead: the cable arrives behind the set and the connector sits flush in the plate rather than trailing along a skirting board or looping over the top of a cabinet. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, snugs and home offices, and it is a sensible thing to put in wherever a television is likely to end up. It carries signal only and no mains power, so it works alongside a power point rather than in place of one. Keep it to dry rooms indoors.
The plate and its surround are moulded in polycarbonate, with the plum colour running through the material rather than sitting on top as a coat of paint, so everyday knocks and fingernails do not leave pale marks. Cleaning asks very little: a barely damp cloth across the face, then dry it off, and no sprays or cream cleaners, which will dull a coloured plate over time. It carries a ten year warranty. If you are running plum plates through a room, this keeps the aerial connection speaking the same language as the switching around it.

Frequently Asked
What does this socket actually connect?
It terminates a coaxial aerial or satellite downlead, giving you a fixed connector at the wall for a television, set-top box or recorder lead.
How big is the plate?
It is 88mm square, with a back box depth of 25mm behind it, so it sits in the same footprint as standard switch and socket plates.
Can I use it to power the television?
No. It handles signal only, as a Class 3 low voltage part, so you will still want a power point nearby for the set itself.
What is the plate made from?
Moulded polycarbonate in a plum finish, with a screwless front so no fixings show on the face.
How should I clean it?
Wipe it with a barely damp cloth and dry it straight away. Avoid solvents, abrasive pads and household sprays, which can mark the colour.
Is it suitable for a garage or garden room?
Only if the space is dry and heated like any other indoor room. It is rated for indoor use and is not made for damp or exposed positions.
