Description
Sky blue runs right through the moulding here, not over the top of it, and the plate arrives with no screw heads on show: the front clips onto a sub-plate so the face reads as one clean 88mm square. On it sit two apertures, a telephone connection alongside a Cat 5 data socket, so a handset and a wired network lead share a single position on the wall rather than taking up two. The lines are square with a slight softening at the corners, and the finish is a flat, even colour with a light sheen.
It suits the desk end of a study or home office, where a phone and a hard-wired connection to a router or switch both want to land in the same spot. We also reach for coloured plates like this in children's bedrooms, playrooms and workshops, or anywhere the joinery has been painted and a plain white face would sit oddly against it. Being a low voltage data fitting, it carries signal only and no mains, which makes it a tidy companion to a nearby power point. It is intended for dry rooms indoors, so a heated study, hall or landing rather than a garage bay or an outbuilding.
The plate and its cover are moulded ABS, chosen for colour stability and for taking knocks without chipping the way a painted metal face can. Keep it looking right with a dry duster most of the time and a cloth wrung out in warm water when marks appear, then dry it off; solvents, cream cleaners and kitchen sprays will dull the surface and are best kept away from it. It carries a ten year warranty. As a small point of style, a coloured data plate reads far better when the switches and sockets around it are quiet and plain, letting this one do the marking out.

Frequently Asked
What connections does it provide?
One telephone connection and one Cat 5 Ethernet data socket, side by side on a single two gang plate.
How big is the plate?
The visible face measures 88mm by 88mm, and it is designed for a back box depth of 35mm.
Why is it called screwless?
The decorative front cover clips onto a hidden sub-plate, so no fixing screws are visible once the plate is closed up.
Can it be used outdoors or in a wet room?
No. It is rated for indoor use only, on dry data circuits, and should be kept away from splashes and damp.
What is the plate made from?
Moulded ABS in a sky blue finish, weighing 0.065kg.
How should I clean it?
A dry cloth for dust, or a cloth lightly dampened with warm water for fingermarks. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners, which mar the finish.
