Description
Two F-type screw connections sit behind a flat warm grey plate, ready to carry satellite feeds through to a receiver. The plate measures 88mm square and shows no fixing screws on the face, so it reads as a clean panel rather than a piece of hardware. Warm grey is a softer neighbour than brilliant white, whether the wall behind it is painted pale or dark, and the moulding has a matt surface with no shine to it.
We point people towards this one where a twin tuner recorder wants both of its feeds from a single place on the wall. It works just as well in a bedroom or study fed from the same dish, and it sits happily next to other screwless plates in warm grey so a run of accessories along one wall stays consistent. Anyone tidying a jumble of loose leads behind a television will get the most out of it. It is meant for indoor rooms, and for satellite and data circuits rather than mains power.
The plate and its moulding are ABS, which takes colour evenly and keeps it rather than yellowing under lamplight. Keep it clean with a dry cloth, or one barely damp if fingermarks have built up, and keep household sprays and solvents away from the face, as they dull moulded plates quickly. When a lead comes off, put the cap back on the bare connector so dust stays out of the thread. It carries a ten year warranty. If you are working through a whole room, we would hold the aerial, data and power points to the same screwless style and the same warm grey, so the wall stays quiet and the television corner looks deliberate.

Frequently Asked
What sort of connectors does it use?
Both connections are F-type screw connectors, the standard threaded fitting used on satellite feeds and receiver leads.
Why would I want two connections rather than one?
A recorder with twin tuners needs a feed to each tuner to record one channel while you watch another. Two connections on one plate keep both leads in the same tidy spot.
How big is the plate?
It is 88mm square, the usual single plate footprint, with a back box depth of 25mm.
What is the plate made from?
Moulded ABS, finished in warm grey throughout rather than painted on the surface.
Can I use it outside or in a shower room?
No. It is rated IP20 and intended for dry indoor rooms only.
How should I clean it?
A dry cloth for dust, or a barely damp one for marks. Avoid cream cleaners, bleach and solvent wipes, which can leave the moulding patchy.
