Description
This is a flat two gang plate that puts a telephone socket and a Cat 5 Ethernet data socket side by side on a single square faceplate, finished in a deep plum. The screwless front clips over its own base, so the face stays unbroken by screwheads and the colour reads as a clean block. The plate is the standard double size at 88mm square, so it sits in line with other plates along the same wall.
We would fit this where a landline handset and a wired network run arrive at the same spot: a desk in a home office, an alcove in a hallway where the router sits, or a bedroom corner set up for study. Wired data still beats wi-fi for a games console, a smart television or a work laptop that needs a steady connection, and putting the telephone point on the same plate keeps the desk edge tidy. It suits anyone decorating in warmer, deeper tones, where a white plate would jump out of the wall.
The plate is moulded in ABS, a tough plastic that takes a consistent colour through and needs no painting or lacquering. Keep it looking right by wiping the face with a barely damp cloth and drying it off; skip solvents, cream cleaners and anything abrasive, since they can dull the moulded surface. It carries a ten year warranty. This one is for indoor rooms and low voltage data circuits, and we like it as a quiet way to carry the plum through at desk height rather than leaving a pale plate in the middle of a dark wall.

Frequently Asked
What sockets are on the plate?
One telephone socket and one Cat 5 Ethernet data socket, arranged as two gangs on a single 88mm square faceplate.
What does screwless mean here?
The visible front plate clips onto a separate base, so there are no screwheads on show and the plum finish runs uninterrupted across the face.
What is it made from?
A moulded ABS plastic body, coloured plum throughout rather than surface painted, weighing 0.065kg.
Can it be used in a bathroom or outdoors?
No. It is rated IP20 and intended for indoor, dry rooms only.
Will it carry mains power?
No. It is a Class 3 low voltage fitting for telephone and data circuits, not a power point.
How should I clean it?
A barely damp cloth, then dry. Avoid solvents and abrasive or cream cleaners, which can mark the moulded surface.
