Description
This is a data plate with two ports on one square face, dressed in a deep navy blue moulding with a screwless front so nothing breaks the surface but the ports themselves. The plate measures 88mm square, which is the standard single plate footprint, so it lines up with the rest of the plates on a wall without looking like an afterthought. It is a low voltage data fitting and carries network cabling only, so it takes no part in the power side of a room.
We would fit this in a study, a home office or behind a media wall, anywhere a wired connection is wanted for a desktop, a games console or a television that struggles on wi-fi. Two ports on one plate is the useful number: one for the machine that lives there permanently and one spare for whatever else gets plugged in. It suits darker decorating schemes especially well, and it is one we reach for when a white plate would stand out too sharply against a painted or papered wall. It is intended for dry rooms indoors, on data circuits.
The body and front are moulded in ABS, so the navy colour runs through the material rather than sitting on top as a coat that can chip at the edges. Keep it looking right with an occasional wipe using a barely damp cloth, then dry it off; household sprays and cream cleaners will dull the matt finish, so leave those in the cupboard. It carries a ten year warranty. Navy sits comfortably beside brushed brass or dark bronze ironmongery, and we would use it as the quiet member of a scheme rather than the part that draws the eye, keeping the data ports discreet while the lighting does the talking.
