Description
Two coaxial sockets sit side by side on a single flat plate, with no screw heads on the front to interrupt the face. The colour is sky blue, bright and clean, and the moulding has a smooth surface with softly rounded edges. The plate keeps to a compact 88mm square footprint, so it reads as a small, tidy fitting on the wall rather than something that draws the eye across the room.
This is the part we would fit where a television point needs to serve more than one feed at the same position, whether that is behind a wall hung set in a living room or at a desk in a study. It is rated for indoor use on low voltage signal work, so it belongs to the aerial and data side of a room rather than to anything carrying mains. We find the blue earns its place in a child's bedroom, a playroom or a games corner, where the wiring accessories are part of the scheme instead of something to hide.
The plate and the sockets are moulded in polycarbonate, a hard plastic that takes knocks and cleaning better than a painted metal face and holds its colour well in a room that gets daylight. To keep it looking right, run a barely damp cloth over the face now and then and dry it off; skip solvents, wipes and cream cleaners, as these leave a cloudy bloom on moulded plastic that will not polish out. It carries a ten year warranty. If you like the flush, screwless look, we would carry the same style along the rest of the wall so the television point, the sockets and any data socket all sit on plates that match in shape and depth.

Frequently Asked
What size is the plate?
It is 88mm square, the standard single plate footprint, and the moulding stands 25mm deep front to back.
How many coaxial connections does it take?
Two, side by side on the one plate, so a single position can carry a pair of feeds.
What is the plate made from?
Polycarbonate, a tough moulded plastic finished in sky blue right across the face and socket surrounds.
Is it suitable for a bathroom or an outbuilding?
No. It is rated IP20 and made for dry indoor rooms only.
Can it be used for mains wiring?
No. It is a Class 3 low voltage part intended for aerial, satellite and data circuits.
How should it be cleaned?
A barely damp cloth, then dry. Avoid solvents and abrasive creams, which dull the plastic permanently.
