FAQs

Is this socket suitable for Freeview or terrestrial TV aerials?

No, this is specifically an F-Type satellite television socket, designed for satellite TV signals, not for standard terrestrial TV aerials.

Do I need a special back box for installation?

Typically, it fits a standard UK single or double-depth back box, but always check the specific dimensions and requirements before installation.

Can I paint this socket to match my walls?

No, the gloss finish is not designed to be painted. Painting may damage the surface and void the warranty.

How many devices can I connect to this 2-gang socket?

The 2-gang socket provides two separate F-type connection points, allowing you to connect two devices directly or to distribute the signal further if your system allows.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Please refer to the manufacturer's documentation or contact Trendi Switch customer support for specific warranty information, as it can vary.

Is this socket weatherproof?

No, this socket is designed for indoor use only and is not weatherproof.

Troubleshooting

No Satellite Signal

Ensure the coaxial cable is securely connected to both the satellite dish/distribution unit and this F-type socket. Verify the connection at the satellite receiver end. Check for any kinks or damage to the coaxial cable. If issues persist, consult a qualified satellite installer.

Loose Connection

Gently tighten the F-type connector on the socket. If the internal wiring appears loose, do not attempt to fix it yourself; contact a qualified electrician or installer.

Socket feels rough or sticky

Clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals.
