Description
Telephone and ethernet sit side by side on one screwless plate here, faced in a textured carbon fibre weave that reads dark grey in daylight and near black in a lamplit room. One position takes a phone line, the other a Cat 5 data lead, so a router and a handset can share a single wall position rather than eating two. There are no visible screwheads on the face, which leaves a flat, unbroken front and crisp edges against the wall.
This is the pairing we suggest for a study, a home office corner or a bedroom desk, anywhere the broadband kit and the phone want to live together. It works well behind a television unit too, where a media point tucked low and out of sight keeps leads short and tidy. It handles low voltage telephone and data circuits only, not mains power, and it belongs indoors in dry rooms rather than a garage wall or an outbuilding. We would choose it in a room with charcoal joinery, dark tiling or a deep painted wall, where a pale plate tends to jump out.
The plate is moulded polycarbonate with metal working parts behind, and the textured face is more forgiving of fingerprints and small scuffs than a gloss one. Wipe it with a barely damp cloth and dry it off; skip solvents, kitchen sprays and anything abrasive, as these will dull the grain over time. It carries a ten year warranty and is made to BS EN 60669. For a coordinated look, keep the same dark textured face for the other plates on the same wall so the switching, power and media positions all read as one family rather than a mix. Supplied as a single plate.

Frequently Asked
What are the plate dimensions?
The faceplate measures 88mm square and the module sits 35mm deep behind it.
What does each half of the plate do?
One side is a telephone connection and the other is a Cat 5 ethernet data connection, giving you two services in the space of one plate.
Can I run mains power through it?
No. It is a low voltage accessory for telephone and data circuits only.
Is the carbon fibre finish a real weave?
It is a textured moulded finish with a carbon fibre pattern, so you get the look and a fine tactile grain across the face.
How should I clean it?
A soft cloth, barely damp, then dry. Avoid solvents, bleach and cream cleaners, which can flatten the texture.
Is it suitable for a bathroom or outside?
No, it is rated for indoor use in dry rooms only.
