Description
Two data sockets sit side by side on a single flat plate, with no screw heads on the face to interrupt the surface. The finish is a deep dark green, dark enough to read almost black in a shaded corner and clearly green in daylight. The plate is 88mm square, so it occupies no more wall than an ordinary single socket does. It carries wired network connections rather than mains power, and belongs on low voltage data circuits.
We reach for this where wifi is not enough: a home office with a desktop machine and a printer, a study wall, or the spot behind a television where a set-top box and a games console both want a cable. Two ports on one plate keeps things neat in places where a single port would have you doubling up a year later. It suits anyone running data cable through a house during building work or redecoration, and anyone who would rather the network points looked considered than added on at the end.
The body is moulded ABS, a hard plastic that holds its colour well. To keep it looking right, use a dry cloth, or a barely damp one followed by a dry wipe; household sprays and polishes will dull a coloured plate quicker than anything else will. It is meant for indoor rooms and for data circuits, and nothing beyond that. It carries a ten year warranty. Colour is really the point here: against a dark green or deep teal wall the plate settles back and reads as part of the paintwork, while on a pale wall it becomes a small deliberate mark. The screwless front is what makes that work, since there is nothing bright on the face to catch the eye.
