{"product_id":"2-gang-polycarbonate-ethernet-outlet-screwless-charcoal","title":"2 Gang Ethernet Socket - Charcoal","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo ports on a single plate, and a front that clips on with no screw heads showing. This is a data socket for wired networking, finished in charcoal, with the modules set side by side behind a flat, unbroken face. It accepts Cat 5 and Cat 6 cabling, so a standard patch lead from a router, a network switch or a structured wall run plugs straight in. We like the screwless plate in rooms that already have plenty going on, because the face reads as one clean panel rather than a piece of hardware bolted to the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth positions can be used at once, so a desktop and a printer, or a games console and an access point, each get a connection of their own. This is a low voltage data fitting with no mains power at the plate, and it belongs in dry indoor rooms: a study, a home office, a media wall behind the television, a cupboard where the networking gear lives. We would put one in wherever somebody works from home and wants a steady wired link instead of fighting for a wireless signal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plate and front are moulded polycarbonate in a matt charcoal, a soft dark grey that settles quietly against painted walls and looks deliberate on darker decoration. Cleaning is a dry or barely damp cloth over the face; leave sprays and solvents well alone, and keep moisture away from the port openings so the contacts stay dry. It carries a ten year warranty. Charcoal is the finish we hold for this one, and it works well in a scheme where the switches, handles and light fittings all lean dark rather than bright, giving a run of hardware that looks of a piece. Patch leads are chosen to suit the run, so they are bought separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCharcoal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType of Finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.07KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e88mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e88mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBack Box Depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterials Used\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolycarbonate, Metal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProtection Class\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClass 3 - Low Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP20\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10yrs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUKCA\/CE\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAdditional Certification\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBS EN 60669\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNumber of Gangs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePieces Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInstallation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRequires Installation By Qualified Electrician. 35mm Box Depth Is Recommended.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIndoor Use Only.
