Description
A screwless front in cool grey, this brings two F-type satellite connections onto a single square plate measuring 88mm. No fixing screws show on the face, so the plate reads as one clean panel of colour, and the threaded connectors accept standard satellite fly leads, turned on finger tight. It is a small fitting, unobtrusive enough to sit under a wall-hung television without crowding the plates already on that wall.
We would choose this where a dish feed arrives behind a media wall and a receiver wants both of its tuner inputs served, so one programme can record while another plays. It works just as well in a bedroom or a study where a second receiver lives. Being a low voltage signal fitting rather than anything mains, it sits alongside your power point and data socket rather than in place of either, and it is meant for dry rooms indoors.
The plate is moulded in polycarbonate, a tough plastic that holds its cool grey tone and shrugs off the odd knock from a bookcase or a vacuum head. To keep it looking right, dust the face with a dry cloth, and where fingerprints build up use one barely damp, wiping away from the connector barrels rather than across them. Nothing solvent based, and nothing sprayed. It carries a ten year warranty. Lined up with a television point or a data socket in the same screwless style, a plate like this settles into the wall instead of announcing itself, which is exactly what you want from a fitting that spends its life behind a screen. Cool grey is a useful middle ground here: it holds its own against a pale wall and stops short of the hard contrast you get from black.

Frequently Asked
What sort of leads does it take?
Both connections are F-type, the threaded connector used on satellite coaxial fly leads. They are hand tightened, so no tools are needed to change a lead over.
How big is the plate?
It is 88mm square, with a back box depth of 25mm.
Will it work with a terrestrial aerial lead?
No. This is an F-type satellite fitting. A terrestrial aerial lead needs an aerial or coaxial socket instead.
Can it go in a bathroom or outside?
It is rated IP20 and intended for indoor use only, so keep it to dry rooms away from splashes.
What is the plate made from?
Moulded polycarbonate in a cool grey finish.
Is it a mains fitting?
No. It is Class 3, low voltage, and carries satellite signal only, not power.
