Description
A deep, near navy blue plate with a flat screwless face, carrying a telephone aperture alongside a Cat 5 ethernet port so the landline and the wired network share a single position on the wall. The moulded front measures 88mm square, with no screwheads breaking the surface, which keeps the whole thing quiet against paint or paper. It is a two gang data socket, low voltage only, and it works with the phone and network cabling already serving the room rather than adding anything to the mains side of things.
We reach for this where a desk or study corner needs both a phone connection and a proper wired link, and where two separate plates would look untidy. It earns its place behind a television as well, or in a bedroom that still keeps a landline, and a cabled connection tends to hold steadier than wireless for calls and streaming. Anyone running a home office, or wiring a loft conversion for the first time, will find one position does the work of two. The dark colour suits rooms decorated in stronger shades, where a white plate would jump out of the wall.
The body is ABS, tough and colour fast, with the midnight blue running through the plastic rather than sitting on top as a coat that can chip at the edges. It is intended for dry indoor rooms and data circuits only. To clean, wipe the face with a barely damp cloth and dry it off; solvents, cream cleaners and abrasive pads will dull the surface, so keep them away from it. It carries a ten year warranty. Against a pale wall the blue reads almost black, and on a deeper paint it settles in and stops the hardware pulling the eye across the room.

Frequently Asked
What connections does it give me?

How big is the plate?
The face is 88mm square, so it matches the footprint of a standard twin plate.
What is the plate made from?
Moulded ABS in midnight blue, with the colour through the material rather than applied as a surface coat.
Can I use it in a bathroom or outside?
No. It is rated IP20 and intended for dry indoor rooms only.
How should I clean it?
A barely damp cloth followed by a dry one. Avoid solvents, cream cleaners and scouring pads, which will mark the finish.
Does it carry mains power?
No. It is a low voltage data and telephone socket, Class 3, for data circuits only.
