FAQs
Does this wall plate require professional installation?
While the design simplifies connection, basic DIY skills for wall mounting are recommended. Ensure power to the relevant circuit is off before attempting installation.
What is the maximum resolution supported by the HDMI port?
The HDMI 2.1 port supports resolutions up to 8K at 60Hz, and lower resolutions like 4K at higher refresh rates.
Can I use this for both HDMI and USB connections simultaneously?
Yes, the HDMI and USB 3.0 ports are independent and can be used simultaneously without interference.
What are the dimensions of the wall plate?
The wall plate has dimensions of 85mm x 85mm (faceplate size) and a depth of 210mm (total unit depth including rear cables).
Will this wall plate fit any standard electrical box?
Yes, it is designed for a standard 1-gang UK electrical wall box.
Does the USB port support fast charging?
The USB 3.0 port provides high-speed data transfer. While it can power devices, its charging capability depends on the power output of the connected source (e.g., computer's USB port) and the device's requirements; it is not a dedicated fast charger.
Are the rear cables a fixed length?
Yes, the wall plate features integrated rear cables with fixed lengths. Ensure your installation allows for these lengths.
Troubleshooting
No HDMI signal detected
Verify both HDMI cables (front and rear) are securely connected. Ensure the source device and display are powered on and set to the correct input. Test cables individually without the wall plate.
USB device not recognized or slow transfer speeds
Confirm the USB cable is securely plugged into both the wall plate and the device. For optimal speeds, ensure both the device and the wall plate are connected to a USB 3.0 port on your computer. Try a different USB device to rule out device-specific issues.
Video quality issues (artifacts, flickering)
Check the HDMI cable length and quality. Ensure the cable meets HDMI 2.1 specifications. Loose connections can also cause signal degradation; re-seat both ends of the HDMI cable.
Wall plate is loose
Tighten the fixing screws securing the wall plate to the mounting box. Ensure the mounting box itself is securely installed in the wall.
