FAQs

What does '1 gang isolated socket' mean?

A '1 gang' socket refers to a single-aperture fitting. 'Isolated' means the connection is designed to prevent signal leakage or interference with other electrical circuits or devices, ensuring a cleaner signal path.

What are the exact dimensions of the plate?

The plate dimensions are approximately 87mm tall by 87mm wide, with a depth of 7mm (excluding the rear projection).

How much space do I need behind the socket?

The unit has an 18mm rear projection, meaning you need at least this much space behind the mounting plate for the internal connections and cable entry.

Can this be used for satellite TV?

Yes, it is compatible with standard coaxial connections used for satellite TV distribution, provided the rest of your system is set up accordingly.

Is this socket suitable for outdoor use?

This product is designed for indoor use. It does not have weatherproofing ratings for outdoor installation.

How do I clean the polished chrome finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the surface. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could scratch or dull the finish.

What type of cable does it connect to?

It connects to standard coaxial TV aerial cables, typically terminated with an F-type connector or a Belling-Lee (coaxial) plug.

Troubleshooting

No TV signal after installation

Verify the coaxial cable is securely connected to the socket and the aerial/dish. Ensure the aerial/dish is correctly aligned and functional. Check if the socket is properly wired internally.

Poor TV reception quality

Ensure the coaxial cable is not damaged or kinked. Confirm the socket is correctly isolated and not short-circuiting. Test the signal with a different coaxial cable or aerial.

Socket plate loose on the wall

Check that the mounting screws are tightened appropriately into the wall box. Ensure the wall box itself is securely fitted.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Elegant polished chrome finish with white insert complements modern decor.

Cons

  • Requires a specific amount of space behind the wall due to its 18mm rear projection.
  • Isolated design means it's a single point; multiple sockets would require additional units.
  • Finish may show fingerprints, typical of polished chrome.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This socket is designed for standard wall mounting and connects to existing coaxial cabling. Ensure the power is switched off at the mains before attempting any electrical work. The unit requires an 18mm clearance behind the mounting plate. Professional installation is recommended if you are unfamiliar with electrical wiring.

Compatibility:

Compatible with standard coaxial TV aerial cables and connectors. It is suitable for terrestrial, satellite, and cable TV distribution systems that use coaxial connections.

Care:

Clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the polished chrome finish. Regular dusting will maintain its appearance.
