Description
A flat screwless plate in gloss piano black, this one brings a TV aerial socket and a Cat 5 ethernet data socket onto a single plate. The clip-on front cover leaves no screw heads on show, so it reads as a clean square of black against the wall rather than a piece of hardware. The apertures sit side by side, one for the television aerial, the other for a wired network lead, and the plate keeps to the footprint of a standard single.
We reach for this where a desk, a media unit or a bedside table needs both an aerial lead and a proper cabled network point, without separate plates competing for the same stretch of wall. Studies and home offices are the obvious homes for it, and we would happily put one behind a television too, where a wired connection holds steadier than wifi for streaming. It suits anyone running data around the house who would rather the sockets looked considered than purely functional, and it is as much at home in a hallway beside the router as it is at a work station.
The moulding is polycarbonate, finished in the deep gloss that gives piano black its name, and the plate measures 88mm square. Gloss does show fingerprints, so keep a soft, barely damp cloth for it and dry it off afterwards; solvents, kitchen sprays and anything abrasive will dull the shine for good. This is low voltage kit for dry indoor rooms, working on data circuits rather than mains power. It carries a ten year warranty. Where the switches and plates in a room are already black, it settles quietly among them; against a pale wall it becomes a small, deliberate mark of punctuation.
