Description
Two low voltage modules share a square faceplate here: a TV aerial socket and a Cat 5 ethernet port, side by side. The plate is moulded in bright teal polycarbonate with a screwless front, so the face reads as a clean flat panel with nothing interrupting the colour. The tone is a saturated teal rather than a pastel, closer to a painted joinery shade than a typical electrical accessory. At 88mm square it keeps to the usual footprint for a plate of this width, so it lines up with the rest of the accessories along a wall.
Home offices are the obvious place for it, where a desk wants a wired network point that will not drop out and an aerial lead beside it. It suits a study, a spare bedroom that has become a workspace, or the cupboard where the router lives. We would fit this where the teal can actually be seen rather than tucked behind a filing unit, because the colour is half the reason to buy it. Anyone running a work laptop, a games console or a desktop on cable rather than wireless gets the steadier link, and the aerial side keeps the television feed exactly where it is wanted.
The body is polycarbonate, a tough moulded plastic that takes strong colour well and shrugs off knocks in a busy room. Keep it right with an occasional wipe from a cloth barely damp with water, and leave kitchen sprays and solvents alone, since they can dull the teal or leave it patchy. It carries a ten year warranty. Because it deals with aerial and data circuits only, it belongs in dry indoor rooms and carries no mains power of its own. Against muted greys and off whites, a plate this colour reads as a small piece of deliberate contrast.
