Description
Two services share one small square plate here: a TV aerial socket sitting alongside a Cat 5 ethernet data socket, both set into a brushed steel front. The plate is 88mm square, so it asks for no more wall than a standard socket does. Being a screwless design, the face stays clean, with no screw heads to break it up. The brushed sheen is a quiet silver rather than a bright mirror, which keeps smudges and everyday marks much less obvious.
This is the plate we point people towards for a home office or a study, where a television and a computer sit on the same desk and both want feeding from the same spot. A wired link stays steadier than wi-fi for a desktop, a console or a television, so it earns its keep behind a media unit as readily as beside a desk. It suits anyone tidying trailing leads in a spare bedroom turned workroom, and we would choose it over two separate plates where wall space is tight or the wall is already busy with switching.
The body is moulded polycarbonate behind a pressed steel plate, and the brushed finish carries across the whole face so the front reads as one piece. Keeping it looking well is undemanding: a dry cloth over the steel now and then, and nothing abrasive or solvent based near the mouldings, which will dull and mark. It works on low voltage data circuits in dry indoor rooms, and is not meant for mains work or anywhere damp. It carries a ten year warranty. Brushed steel is forgiving company for grey paint, oak and bare plaster, and it holds its own beside matt black hardware if that is where a room is heading.
