Description
Two RJ45 data ports sit on a single square plate, finished in a bright teal moulding with chrome-coloured surrounds framing each module. The plate is screwless, so the front face stays clean with nothing breaking up the colour, and the teal is moulded through the polycarbonate rather than laid over it as paint. The ports accept Cat 5 and Cat 6 patch cabling, so a fast network run and an older one are both at home here. The plate itself is compact, square rather than oblong, and reads as a deliberate flash of colour on a wall.
We keep this for rooms where cabling should arrive properly rather than trail across the floor from a router. A study or home office wall, a desk in a bedroom, the space behind a television where a set top box and a console both want a wired connection: both ports on one plate cover all of it. It is a data socket only, so power for the equipment comes from a socket nearby. The bright teal suits a painted feature wall, a child's room or a workshop bench, anywhere a plain white plate would vanish. Indoor rooms only, and on data circuits.
The plate is moulded in polycarbonate, a hard plastic that holds a strong colour well, with the chrome inserts giving the ports a crisp edge. Keep it looking right by wiping the face with a dry cloth, or a barely damp one for finger marks, and leave solvent cleaners well alone; they dull the moulding. Blow dust out of an unused port now and then. It carries a ten year warranty. We would use it as the accent in an otherwise quiet room and let the teal do the talking.

Frequently Asked
Will it work with Cat 6 cabling?
Yes. Each port is made for Cat 5 and Cat 6 data cabling, so it suits both current and older network runs.
How big is the plate?
It is 88mm square, with a fitting depth of 35mm, and it weighs 0.065kg.
What colour are the port surrounds?
Chrome-coloured inserts frame the two ports, set against the bright teal plate.
Can I use it in a bathroom or outside?
No. It is rated for indoor, dry rooms only and is intended purely for data circuits.
Why is it called screwless?
The visible front plate clips over its fixing frame, so there are no screw heads on the face to interrupt the teal finish.
How should I clean it?
A dry cloth for dust, or a barely damp cloth for finger marks. Avoid solvents and abrasive creams, which take the sheen off the moulding.
