2 Gang TV Aerial Socket - Platinum Silver

Two coaxial connections sit side by side on a single screwless plate, finished in platinum silver. The front cover clips over its frame, so the face you look at is unbroken by screw heads and the edges read as one clean line against the wall. The plate is 88mm square, the usual footprint for a single position, and the two apertures are set centrally with clear space around them for cable to turn without strain.

This is the plate we reach for on a media wall where one television has to be fed twice, from an aerial and from a satellite dish, or where a second set is planned in the same corner of the room. It suits living rooms, bedrooms and home offices, and it keeps signal tidy in one place instead of spreading two separate plates along a run. It handles low voltage signal only, so it works alongside a power point rather than doing that job, and it is intended for rooms indoors rather than anywhere damp or exposed.

The plate and cover are moulded in ABS with the silver finish applied across the visible face, which keeps the weight down and gives a hard, wipeable surface. Keep a dry cloth to it now and then and it will stay looking new; if something greasy has reached it, a barely damp cloth is plenty, and cream cleaners or solvents are best kept well away from the finish. It carries a ten year warranty. Screwless plates look their best when they are used consistently, so we would run the same platinum silver across the light switches and sockets in the room rather than mixing it with a screwed profile on the same wall. We stock this one for customers who want the aerial and satellite feeds handled as neatly as the switching.

How large is the plate?

It measures 88mm by 88mm on the face and stands 25mm deep behind, which is also the back box depth it is designed to sit against.

What are the two sockets for?

Each is a coaxial connection, so the pair will take an aerial feed and a satellite feed to the same position, or two separate television feeds if that suits the room better.

Can I use this outdoors or in a bathroom?

No. It is rated IP20 and made for dry indoor rooms only.

What is the plate made from?

ABS, moulded and finished in platinum silver. The whole plate weighs only 0.075kg.

Does it carry mains voltage?

No. It is a Class 3 low voltage fitting for signal and data circuits, so a power point is still needed for the television itself.

How should I clean it?

A dry cloth for dust, or a barely damp one for marks. Avoid cream cleaners, polishes and solvents, which can dull the silver finish.
