Description
Two F-type connections sit behind a screwless plate here, so the front face stays flat and unbroken with no visible fixings to catch the eye. The finish is a matt black that holds its depth rather than bouncing light back, and the plate keeps to a compact square of 88mm. Each connector accepts the threaded F-type lead used by satellite receivers, giving a tidy termination where cable would otherwise trail across a wall. It works on low voltage signal cabling rather than mains, which is part of why the plate reads as quiet and small in a room.
A twin outlet earns its place wherever a receiver wants both feeds from the dish, which is the case with most recorders that capture one channel while you watch another. We fit these in living rooms behind a wall hung television, and in bedrooms and studies where another box lives. The matt black suits darker walls, panelled media joinery and any scheme where you would rather the hardware receded than gleamed. If the switches and plates around it are already black, this keeps the wall consistent at eye level and below.
The plate and its moulded surround are ABS, which takes matt black evenly and stays looking the same across a run of several plates rather than drifting in tone. For cleaning, draw a dry cloth over the face now and then; we would keep polishes, solvents and bathroom sprays away from it, since they can leave a matt surface patchy and shiny in places. Indoors only, and on satellite cabling rather than a mains circuit. It carries a ten year warranty. Screwless plates look their best in company, so it is worth carrying the same flat fronted style across the sockets and television points in the same room.
