Description
Satellite cabling ends in F-type screw connectors, and this plate takes two of them, set side by side behind a dark green front. The screwless plate style keeps the face clean, with no screw heads on show, so the eye lands on the finish and the connector barrels instead. At 88mm square, it keeps step with other plates along the same wall. It handles signal rather than mains power, on low voltage circuits, so there is nothing to switch and nothing to plug in.
We would fit this where a dish feed has to reach a receiver tidily: a living room, a snug, or a bedroom where the television sits flat against the wall. Having both connectors on a single plate suits a twin feed, or a spare run kept back for a change of kit later on. The dark green earns its place against deep painted walls, panelling or a warm neutral scheme, and it suits anyone who would rather their sockets settled into the room than stood out in white. It suits anyone tidying up a media corner where leads have been running loose. Keep it to indoor rooms.
The plate is moulded in polycarbonate and finished in dark green. To clean, run a barely damp cloth over the face and dry it off; keep white spirit, cream cleaners and kitchen sprays well away, as solvents will dull the moulding. It carries a ten year warranty. We like it best as part of a set, with aerial sockets, data sockets and power points in the same dark green on the same wall, so nothing jumps out of the scheme. Against a deep green or ink blue paint it almost disappears, which is usually the point.

Frequently Asked
What size is the plate?
It measures 88mm by 88mm and 25mm deep, so it matches the usual single plate footprint on a wall.
What sort of connectors does it carry?
Two F-type screw connectors, the threaded type used for satellite coaxial leads.
Can I use it as an aerial point instead?
No. It is made for F-type satellite leads; terrestrial aerial leads use a different coaxial connector, so an aerial socket is the right plate for that job.
Is it suitable for a bathroom?
It is rated IP20 for dry indoor rooms only, so we would not put it in a bathroom or anywhere it may be splashed.
How should I clean the dark green finish?
A barely damp cloth and a dry wipe afterwards. Solvents, bleach sprays and abrasive creams will mark the polycarbonate, so keep them off it.
Is there a warranty?
Yes, it carries a ten year warranty.
