Description
This is a single coaxial socket on a screwless flat plate, finished in a soft sky blue. The moulded polycarbonate front clips over its base so no fixing screws break up the face, leaving a clean square of colour with one central connector for the aerial lead. The plate measures 88mm square, so it sits neatly against most standard plate positions, and it works on low voltage signal circuits rather than mains power.
It is the socket we reach for when a room is being decorated to a colour scheme rather than to white plastic: children's bedrooms, playrooms, a painted alcove in a snug, or a home office where the television point sits beside a run of shelving. Feed it with the aerial or satellite lead and it gives you a tidy termination for the flylead to your television, set-top box or radio tuner. It is also suited to data circuits, which makes it useful in a media wall where several signal terminations sit side by side. Being indoor only, it belongs in dry living space rather than a garage, garden room or utility with damp air.
The plate is a one piece polycarbonate moulding, so the colour runs through the material rather than sitting on top as a lacquer, and the smooth face has no ridges to collect dust. To clean it, take a barely damp cloth to the plate and dry it straight away, keeping cream cleaners, wipes and solvent-based sprays well away from the finish, since they will dull coloured plastic quickly. It carries a ten year warranty. We think it looks best used consistently through a room, with matching coloured plates on the sockets and switches nearby, so the blue reads as a deliberate part of the decoration rather than a single odd square on the wall. No lead or flyplate is supplied with it.

Frequently Asked
What size is the plate?
It is 88mm square, with a projection of 25mm at the front, and it suits a 25mm back box depth.
What is the plate made from?
Polycarbonate, moulded in sky blue so the colour is part of the material rather than a surface coating.
Can I use it for satellite as well as an aerial?
It takes a single coaxial connection, so it will serve an aerial, satellite or cable feed on one socket. For two separate feeds you would want two sockets.
Is it suitable for a bathroom or an outbuilding?
No. It is rated IP20 and made for indoor use only, so keep it to dry living rooms, bedrooms and offices.
How should I clean it without marking the colour?
A barely damp cloth, then dry immediately. Avoid abrasive creams, household wipes and any solvent spray, as these will take the sheen off coloured plastic.
Does it carry mains power?
No. It is a Class 3 low voltage signal socket for coaxial and data circuits.
