FAQs

What is the difference between the TV and Satellite sockets?

The female IEC socket is for terrestrial TV signals (e.g., Freeview), while the Type F connector is for satellite signals (e.g., Sky, Freesat).

Do I need a special back box for this socket?

Yes, this socket is designed to fit a standard 25mm deep flush mounting box.

Can I use this with any TV or satellite receiver?

Yes, it provides standard connections compatible with virtually all modern televisions and satellite receivers that have IEC (TV) and Type F (Satellite) inputs.

How do I clean the brushed steel finish?

Wipe with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Is this product easy to install?

Basic installation involves connecting cables to terminals. However, electrical work should ideally be carried out by a qualified electrician for safety and compliance.

What does '2 Gang' mean?

'2 Gang' refers to the socket having two distinct connection points within a single faceplate - in this case, one for TV and one for Satellite.

Is the finish fingerprint-resistant?

The brushed steel finish is generally more resistant to fingerprints than a polished finish, but regular cleaning is still recommended.

Troubleshooting

No TV signal

Check the TV aerial cable connection to the IEC socket. Ensure the aerial is correctly positioned and the signal is strong. Verify the socket is correctly wired.

No Satellite signal

Verify the Type F connector is securely tightened to the satellite cable and the socket. Check the satellite dish alignment and LNB connection.

Poor picture quality (pixelation)

Inspect all cable connections for tightness and integrity. Signal interference can occur if cables are damaged or poorly shielded. Ensure the mounting box is not obstructing the connections.

Front plate won't clip on

Ensure the correct 25mm mounting box is used and that no cables are obstructing the plate. Check that the internal module is correctly seated in the box.
