Description
A television point should be no more noticeable than the wall around it, and this one keeps quiet. A single coaxial socket sits centrally on a flat plate in warm grey, with no screw heads to interrupt the face. The plate measures 88mm square and sits shallow in profile, so it reads as a small panel rather than a piece of hardware. The connector takes a standard coaxial lead from an aerial or distribution feed.
We would use this in a sitting room behind a wall-hung screen, in a bedroom where a small set sits in a corner, or in a study where a tuner needs an aerial lead. Warm grey suits walls painted in greige, stone and mushroom tones, and it settles against oak and warmer timbers in a way that white plastic can look hard beside. It is one we point people towards when the white plate is the only thing on the wall you keep noticing. It is for indoor rooms, on television and data circuits rather than anything carrying mains power.
The plate and its surround are moulded polycarbonate, with the colour running through the material rather than sprayed on top. Dust it with a dry cloth; for finger marks around the connector, use a cloth barely damp with water and let it dry before a lead goes back in. Sprays and cream cleaners will dull the matt face, so leave them under the sink. It carries a ten year warranty. If a wall is going to carry more than one plate, keeping the same warm grey face and the same screwless style across all of them is what makes the run look deliberate.

Frequently Asked
What size is the plate?
It is 88mm square, with a 25mm depth behind the face for the connector and cable.
What can I connect to it?
A standard coaxial lead, as used for a television aerial or a distribution feed. It is intended for signal circuits, not mains power.
Is the grey a painted finish?
No. The polycarbonate is moulded in warm grey, so the colour is consistent through the material and small scuffs do not reveal a different shade underneath.
Can it go in a bathroom or outside?
No, this is an indoor fitting for dry rooms. It is rated IP20, so it offers no protection against water.
How should I clean it?
A dry cloth for dust, and a barely damp cloth for marks around the connector. Avoid solvents, sprays and cream cleaners, which take the matt off the surface.
Does it come with a warranty?
It carries a ten year warranty.
