2 Gang F-Type Satellite Socket - Carbon Fibre

This is a twin satellite plate: two F-type screw connectors set behind a screwless front in a carbon fibre finish. The texture is fine and slightly dry to the touch, closer to woven cloth than to gloss plastic, and it reads dark without going flat black. The front carries no visible screw heads, so the eye sees a clean square of finish with the two threaded connectors below the surface line. Each way is marked plainly enough to keep runs straight when a second cable joins the first.

Two ways matter where a satellite receiver takes a twin feed, so this is the plate we reach for behind a television in a sitting room, a media wall or a bedroom that has a box of its own. It works equally well as a tidy termination point in a home office or study where coaxial arrives alongside other low voltage services. It handles satellite and data circuits only, indoors, and carries no mains power of its own, so nothing here should be treated as a power point or a socket for appliances.

The front plate is polycarbonate over metal components, with the texture applied to the face rather than printed on, so light scuffs do not show a pale layer underneath. The plate measures 88mm square, which keeps it in step with standard single plates elsewhere in a room. For cleaning, a dry microfibre cloth lifts dust from the textured face; if marks build up around the connectors, use a cloth just damp with water and keep solvents and cream cleaners away from the finish, since they dull the grain. It carries a ten year warranty. We like the carbon fibre against deep grey or charcoal decorating, and against dark timber veneer on a media unit, where a white plate would jump out of the wall.

How many satellite connections does this plate provide?

Two F-type screw connectors, which suits a receiver that takes a twin feed from a dish.

What size is the plate?

It is 88mm by 88mm, a standard single plate footprint, and the plate depth is 25mm at the back box.

Can I plug an appliance into this?

No. It is a satellite television plate for coaxial cable on data circuits only. It carries no mains power and is not a socket.

What is the front plate made from?

Polycarbonate with metal components inside, finished with a carbon fibre texture on the visible face.

How should I clean the textured finish?

Dust it with a dry microfibre cloth. For marks, a cloth barely damp with water is enough; avoid solvents, polishes and cream cleaners, which can dull the grain.

Is there a warranty?

It carries a ten year warranty.
