2 Gang Telephone & TV Socket - Champagne Gold

A square faceplate that brings a telephone connection and a coaxial television point onto the same plate, finished in a soft champagne gold. The cover is screwless, so the front reads as a flat, unbroken face with no fixing heads on show, and the two apertures sit side by side within a plate of 88mm square. The circuits behind it are low voltage signal and data rather than mains, and it belongs indoors.

We would reach for this where a phone line and an aerial feed arrive at the same corner of a room and you would rather not have separate plates competing on the wall. It suits living rooms, bedrooms and home offices, and it is useful behind a television or beside a desk where cables already gather. We stock it in champagne gold, a warmer and quieter tone than polished brass, which tends to sit well against cream, stone and darker painted walls. Because it serves signal and data only, it does nothing for power; a socket nearby still does that work.

The body is moulded ABS with the champagne gold finish carried across the visible face, and the outer cover clips over the inner plate so nothing interrupts the front. Day to day, a dry cloth is all it asks; where fingermarks build up around the apertures, use a cloth barely damp with plain water and dry it off, and keep solvents, polishes and cream cleaners away from the finish, as they will dull it. It carries a ten year warranty. If you are working through a room, we would keep the screwless profile consistent across the switch plates and any other sockets on the same wall, since a flat face and a screwed face never quite look like the same range.

What connections does this plate carry?

Two on one plate: a telephone socket and a coaxial socket for a television feed, both intended for indoor data and signal circuits rather than mains power.

What size is the plate?

It measures 88mm by 88mm, so it sits within the footprint of a standard twin plate.

Can it be used in a bathroom or outdoors?

No. It is rated IP20 and suited to dry indoor rooms only, so keep it away from splashes and unheated outbuildings.

What is it made from?

Moulded ABS, with the champagne gold finish on the visible face. The weight is around 0.065kg.

Is there a warranty?

Yes, the plate carries a ten year warranty from the manufacturer.

Will champagne gold clash with brass fittings?

It reads warmer and softer than polished brass, so it sits more comfortably with aged or brushed brass ironmongery than with bright lacquered brass.
