Description
Orange is not a colour you see often on a television point, and that is rather the appeal of this one. It is a two gang F-type satellite socket on a screwless plate, so the front face reads as unbroken moulding. The plate is square, 88mm across, with a shallow profile that sits close to the wall. Both F-type connectors sit side by side on the front.
It suits any spot where satellite feeds need to be brought out at the wall and then identified at a glance: a media wall behind a large screen, a home cinema, a studio or office where several services share the same run of wall, or a let where the next person needs to know which point does what. Orange reads instantly against white and grey plates, so it earns its keep in colour coded schemes as much as in rooms where it is simply a bit of fun. We reach for coloured plates like this when someone wants their AV points marked without labels stuck to the wall.
The plate and body are moulded polycarbonate rather than metal, which keeps the weight down and gives the orange an even finish across the face. Keep it clean with a dry cloth, or one barely damp if something has dried on; household sprays and solvents will dull a moulded plate, so leave them in the cupboard. It is intended for indoor rooms, and it handles low voltage signal rather than mains power. It carries a ten year warranty. Pair it with plain white or black plates on the switches and sockets nearby and the orange does all the signalling on its own.
